“Dinky Zinke” a blog post from elsewhere that I likes If you have read anything at all of what I have written in the past, you’ll know a few things about me: I don’t tolerate fools or idiots-and people who desecrate public lands for their own benefit fall into both categories in my estimation. I […]

Read More They Used To Hang Horse Thieves…This was in my home state practically ‘next door’ to where we live. It seems incredible to most people that someone would steal a horse, but they do-and, in many cases, they get away with it. Why?

Read More ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ might be Trump’s very best idea — THE SHINBONE STARI don’t know that there is such a thing anymore. Not for us at any rate. We’ve settled into being older, retired Americans on reduced incomes with very boring (usually) lives. Our lives changed radically in the middle 2000’s. Now? Meh. We watch the political shenanigans going on with interest, of course, but it’s more […]

Read More Why Are Good Young Racehorses Ending Up As Meat 7,000 Miles Away? — Straight from the Horse’s HeartWhat kind of horse do you like? Oh, now that’s a really broad question! Do you like the big draft horses like the Budweiser Clydesdales? Big, brawny, with long hair on their legs and a showy leg lift to the way they move-yep, that’s a horse that commands attention for sure. Several breeds in that […]
