Lots of comments, both good and bad. A very thoughtful response from someone in the cattle industry (at the end of the piece online). I'll answer that charge later.

Also, got some pleasant comments, like this:

"Message to Bob Boze Bell - I was Deena and Tommy's babysitter eons ago, (in Cave Creek). I read your article in the AZ Republic; Cowboy Statesmen. Loved it! Just wanted to touch base and see how you, Kathy and the children are."
—Kathy Turner

My editors at the Arizona Republic, Joe Garcia and Ken Western, did a great job, cleaning up my messy syntax and sloppy punctuation. Gee, I wonder what Hubbard has to say about that?

"Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed."
—Elbert Hubbard
