Now c'mon buddy: I agree that bison meat is a little tough and flavorless when cooked by itself, but use it in place of hamburger to reduce your fat intake--no one will ever know, and it is healthy. Besides that Turner and his many, many acres of ranch land are helping to preserve some agricultural land and keep it out of the hands of developers. As for me I prefer all organic range fed home beef, I don't get a sense that the color of thier hides changes the taste much, but I surely can tell if they have been standing in feed lots (up to their knees in cow s---t for most of their lives), it makes the meat taste a little like petroleum.

TO INSERT SOME HUMOR:

Subject: GM versus Microsoft

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........; Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
I love the next one!!!
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!

Sitting in the back room as a visitor to a theology class, the quiet grey haired man was tall and lanky, some money. This man said nothing for several weeks--just monitoring a course. Then one day he spoke the words that I will never forget:

"I didn't want to be there that day--standing in the hospital corridor when the doctor told me that my only son was a Down Syndrome baby. And, I did not want to be there that day 18 years later when we laid him in the ground."

Thank you stranger--

"Paint ponies"? You kiddin? Not me mister I like them tall and shiny copper red, like a new penny. I don't do quarter horses either!!! I like a little comfort in the ride and I like to get there on time. I like a horse to step out and think ahead. Most important--they have to come when I call! Sure footed is a nice quality also. ;-)
