U.S. service members and veterans solemnly remove their covers, take a knee, and bow their heads in tribute to the passing of a great American hero, Toby Keith. Now, more than ever, is the moment to reignite the flame of patriotism sparked by 9/11.
“It’s hard to believe that this is the second holiday, this year, where we find ourselves hunkered down on the ranch and not out traveling or enjoying the company of our friends and associates.
Playing it safe today; smoking turkey on a spit, making dinner for Terry and her Mom all while the dogs play, cats observe, horses and deer quietly graze on ample green grass in the pastures and Koi quietly languish in the pond.
But is that bad, is this really sad, should we feel sorry for ourselves?
Heck no…this is quality time: we are healthy, together, enjoying our little piece of heaven while the world outside our gate is turned upside down not only by a foreign virus but by people who have lost their moral compass if not their collective minds.
As Terry now says, “It took a pandemic for me to realize that I was anti-social from the git-go, my schedule has not changed”, living and caring for critters will do that to you.
So while the world rages with stupid and stupider the silent majority sits back, observes, gathers courage and waits for the right moment to pounce. Personally, the time to stand up is now not later…so with that said, I share with you the words of John Boston, perhaps a bit localized but when applied to the big picture, speaks for many of us.
Enjoy the day, eat well, build good memories and don’t traumatize your domestic and wild critter friends with simulated gun fire tonight. Instead, sip an adult beverage, watch the flames dance in your campfire ,or your Tiki torches, hug your soul mate and plan for a better tomorrow, it shall come.
Keep the faith; enjoy the company and embrace of those you love! ” ~ R.T.

Today, and tomorrow, we will deviate just a tad from our normal format so as to respectfully honor those who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice so that we, as Americans, can live in a free and prosperous nation. I, for one, am moved to tears for the sacrifice that has been made for all of us, collectively.
But how many of us know the true history of Memorial day, it’s roots and evolution in our society? Not as many as you would think. So today we will share with you bits of information that may give you more understanding into why we celebrate and add additional depth to the feelings that stir within you.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is selling YOUR land right out from under you. Concurrently, the BLM is blitzing the media with PR spin to justify removing all of our publicly owned wild horses off of our public lands. If you want to see what has really been happening to our wild horses at recent roundups, go to Grass Roots Horse or SFTHH.
