These obstacles can delay crucial
conservation efforts—efforts often
supported by the Ranchers Stewardship
Alliance, a local nonprofit with an
emphasis for aiding in ranch resilience
and community building. Paul’s
resourcefulness and neighborly support
are vital in overcoming such challenges,
showcasing the spirit of innovation and
collaboration that defines ranch life.
As the sun dips below the horizon,
casting a golden light over Paul’s land,
the scene is one of hard-earned serenity.
The say of the grass has calmed. The
Jack Russell has moved to the front step.
The Heeler has given up on the drone.
It’s here, surrounded by the fruits of his
labor and the support of his community,

It was about eight o’clock in the morning,

and the owner of the drugstore walks in to find a guy
leaning heavily against a wall with an odd look on his
face.
The owner asks the clerk, “What’s with that guy
over there by the wall?”
The clerk says, “Well, he came in here at seven
this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn’t
find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of
laxatives.”
The owner says, “You idiot! You can’t treat a
cough with laxatives!”
The clerk says, “Oh yeah? Just look at him... he’s
afraid to cough!”

On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets

the past -but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, “Honey, you
stick to the washin’, ironin’, cookin’, and scrubbin’.
No wife of mine is gonna work.”
The bonds of matrimony are a good investment,
only when the interest is kept up.
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can
cook, sew, and make beds, and is in good health,
and he’s already used to taking orders.
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop
lying about your age, and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth
waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not
me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve
traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t
paved.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old
you are?
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back
to your youth.... Remember about Algebra.
You know you are getting old, when everything
either dries up, or leaks.
I don’t know how I got over the hill without getting
to the top.
One of the many things no one tells you about
ageing is that it is such a nice change from being
young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is
comfortable.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and
wrinkled and bald, they don’t recognize you.
