I thought you were more of a machinery kinda guy.
When was the last time you rode a horse?

Three or 4 weekends ago I was helping a friend move a couple hundred
head of cattle down out of the Twisselman range.

Well there it is. That must be a tonic from the machinery
business, and all the troubles at home.

So is sitting on a side hill with a rifle or camera, waiting for a
deer or wild boar to appear. So is learning to tig and laying that
bead in just so...., or making two parts fit perfectly together, that
you turned or milled, or kicked back reading a good book with a couple
cats in your lap and on your shoulder, purrrring away.

Beats drugs and booze all to hell. Even gives good pussy a run for
it.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling
which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being
free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
