My niece once watched her dog get run over, and it was very traumatizing

Even not being your dog, that must have been awful to watch!

Yes, it was. I had stopped and I was looking directly at the dog. I saw the whole thing. It went from being a fluffy cute little white dog to the tire rolling over it and seeing it on the other side of the tire flattened out. The pickup was one of the F-350 so it was heavy. The only good thing was the dog didn't suffer because it died instantly. And the guy driving had slowed down!!! I just did a

at him. Then he got out and walked around to look. What good does that do? Obviously, he knew he had ran over it. I just drove off and that's when I saw at the house the owner was standing on the porch just looking down. I felt so sorry for the guy watching his dog being ran over. I know I shouldn't feel so bad but it is really bothering me. I guess the reason is because I feel like I should of done something more. However, the other driver knew the dog was there and was impatient, uncaring or whatever.
 
Sooner - I really like your signature line ~ Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.
Do you mind if I borrow that and quote it to a friend who doesn't understand why if it weren't for bad luck she wouldn't have any luck at all?

I haven't but it certainly sounds interesting. I love those "year of living _____" books. My favorite is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: a year of food life by Kingsolver, the book that pushed us over the edge on this feed-yourself lifestyle we have embarked upon. One day we are traveling listening to it on CD, the next we are shopping for a farm!

Just finished See You in a Hundred Years, about a NYC family that chucks it all and moves not only into the country, but into 1901 technology. Not as good as AVM, but still a fun read.

Two more I liked are Scratch Beginnings and The Year of Living Biblically, a hillarious but thought-provoking and spiritual book.

And now I have another I need to read! Thanks!

Monty's forecast would have as much chance of being accurate as that of the weather guessers on TV. So, Monty - what do you think the rest of the week will be like weather wise in OKC and in Tulsa?

It's either that or get a bigger vehicle!

Or maybe a covered trailer...

I've been out shopping for a building today for the chickens. Yes, I've got power tools and stuff but they do it much more quicker and it leaves me time for the important things like chickens. The building guy seemed to be amused that I would want a building just for chickens. I'm thinking about a small barn. A classic red barn would be nice. And more than just chickens would go in that.

My DH spent the weekend watching the National Team Roping Championship with a couple of cowboys from New Mexico. One is 72 years old and spends most of the year in a line camp that is 50 miles from the nearest town, and has no electricity, TV, radio and uses a hand pump to draw water and solar to heat water for a quick outdoor shower. I don't think I would want to go that far back in time.... at least not for very long. I could get along well without the TV but would miss the computer, hot water and the dishwasher.... and electric lights.
