Hello.
Wow? What a ripper! Sixty mph
winds. Maybe more. Up to eighteen
inches of snow. And. being the good
planner that I am, we held off calv-
ing till the middle of April to stay
away from storms. Since we've
started, we've had two nice days.
And I can't remember when they
were.
But. I missed most of the storm.
I was on my way home from
Houston. Shirley and Will kept giv-
ing me storm reports. The neighbors
were helping hold cows together
and move the baby calves behind
the few branches we call 'trees.
Some broke down caragana trees.
That do not stop a mild breeze, let
alone hurricane force winds. Felt
like Harding County around here
for a couple days!
But, all in all, between Will.
Shirley. and the neighbors, we fared
pretty darn good. They advised me
not to try and make it home. It was
tough, but I found a nice steak
house and lounge to spend the
evening at. And they were in my
thoughts.
Dad tells about a similar storm
years ago. I think it was in the late
twenties. Grandpa Herb had told
Dad about the storm. It was still

back in the day of horses. Farmers
had been in the field for a few
weeks• Planting corn, seeding small
grains, working ground...And it
was all done with horsepower.
Workhorse power. No one had any
hay leftover after the winter. So the
horses were turned loose to graze
when not being used. A May storm
hit and the temperature started
dropping. As the temperature
dropped, the winds came up, and
the snow came sideways. It was a
full blown winter blizzard.
The horses had shed off their
winter coats and were slick haired
from being worked. Hundreds drift-
ed with the wind and were caught in
pasture corners as the temperature
kept dropping. When the storm sub-
sided, many farmers found their

horses had frozen to death standing
up! It was, and still is. a tough old
country.
For all of you who had to fight
the storm this weekend, I tip my hat
to you and remember, we're one
day closer to green grass.
Storm aside, we darn sure woke
up to some good news this morning.
After ten years of searching, Bin
Laden was found, and justice was
served. All this time we have been
hearing that he was living in a cave
in the mountains of Afghanistan•
Gone to ground like a fox pursued
by the hounds. Yeah, right. He was
living in a million dollar villa in a
large city.
Watching a reenactment of the
raid this morning, you had to mar-
vel at the courage of twenty-five
young men who hopped on a couple
of choppers, and left on a mission
that you know they-have thought
and trained for much of their young
lives. From what I've heard so far.
we didn't lose any soldiers!
Congratulations men? You'll do to
ride the river with.
I've got to get outside and if all
the calves that Shirley and Will had
in the house are nursing the right
mothers. See you next week.
