TREES AND FENCE LINES

Another beautiful day. I'm still cutting up those trees (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, anyone?). Cooler mornings mean more work with less sweat.

I see that the rededication of the Ellsworth Jail is less than a month away. (October 11, 2003 at 6 North Court Street) You shouldn't miss it.

Congratulations to the Bearcats on the win over Beloit last night. I knew the Bearcats could do it. Good job.

Today's other activity of choice was a pleasant ride around the outer property fence line. I arrived at one corner to discover a large tree had toppled onto the fence. Fortunately, in order for the cows to escape their little piece of heaven here, they would have to walk along the steadily rising tree trunk and then drop off the tree on the other side of the fence, a drop of about 20 feet. Thank goodness for deep ravine creeks and small favors.

The cows do not seem inclined to attempt climb the tree in order to leap to freedom on the other side. At least, not yet. (And why would they? They have a pretty sweet deal here...well, you know, except for that teensy hamburger issue)

Moo.
