Hey, if Charlie can have some then I guess Steve Taylor can too. Actually these were some of Steve’s helpers at last night’s World Championship Appaloosa Sale. They were responsible for getting the paperwork to the winning buyers in the auction. And we wondered why Steve left Missouri for Idaho. 2007 World Championship Appaloosa Show Photo Album
Shining Up a Storm
If you need your boots shined at the World Show then “Storming” Norman Miller is your man. I got mine done earlier today and had a little chat with the shine king.

UN Whacko Mouths Off About Biofuels
I was going to try to ignore Jean Ziegler the ignoramus from the United Nations when he came out and said that making biofuels from food crops is a “crime against humanity” but . . . it does make me mad and I think it should piss off all American farmers at least. Of course there’s not much about the …
