Really?

Here’s the good news! We have something fun planned to get you up and moving! The Stafford County Extension Office is starting the “Stay Strong, Stay Healthy” program in St. John, beginning Feb. 2.
I read in Mr. Moore’s recent column how some of his electronic devices had taken on a somewhat “wifely” attitude. From the first time a car told me to “please fasten your seat belt,” to a recent online experience, I’ve long suspected my ex-wives have something to do with our many automated prompts and services.
When I worked for Builders Transport in the mid 1980's, we had no cell phones. It wasn't a problem finding a pay phone in those days. I stopped at truck stop in New Jersey one night.
Every year along with her other holiday gift items, mom always includes a few stocking stuffers in the UPS box, items that often have the “As seen on TV,” logo emblazoned across the package.
A truck driver found himself in a snowstorm. He called his dispatcher and told him that he could not see the road to drive. The dispatcher asked him if he saw a snowplow? The driver said he had.
Like many of us during this time of the year, the youngest member of our farm family is having company for the holidays. I just hope yours is not eating stray socks or running through the house with the garland from the Christmas tree caught in her tail.
There's one benefit that truck drivers get that most people don't have. We get to see Christmas lights all across the country. Some of the time you have to say, WOW!
I’ll admit it being bipolar, Christmas is not one of my happier times of the year. Matter-of-fact, where most have Santa outfits stashed away my Christmas attire is a green Grinch costume.
The readers have spoken. And surprisingly enough I decided to listen.

We’ve had the new addition to the farm for almost two weeks now, and unlike most females I’ve had experience with after only two short weeks she is starting to listen.
I’ve had the new dog for just over a week now and she still pretty much goes by dawg, or Little Pup.
I didn’t name her right away because nothing really jumped out as me as a good name for the new addition.
I had picked up a load of snowplows at Leavenworth going to Wichita. I had pulled out onto the highway and headed south. The first traffic light I came to was green.
If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. That's a lesson Little Pup learned a bit too late.
