This is PSA Senno. And no, I'm not talking about prostates. Of which some seem to be inflamed around here.

Keep Calm and Carry On. Such people as do the Duty are doing their best to protect you. You can do your best for us
by continuing life as normally as possible. Thank you. We will return to our normal programming now.

No Rest for the Weary

No rest for the wicked
is often repeated
and often enough is true
yet the trying times
we do find
about the place
leave us weary
and ready to about face
until we remember
that sleep is near
and you may rest
without fear
cause brave people toil
to keep us safe
in the Armed Forces
of the United States
and policemen and firemen in uniform
do keep watch
forever more
as duty calls
citizens do respond
to keep us safe
in our homes
so rest tonight
for all is well
and weary not
for Senno knows
that brave watchmen
are on the roam

So, in honor of our missing horseman I will tell a tale of horses and cows from my own life.

Senno Rides the Range for a Little Bit:

Seems when I was 13 and on summer vacation in Idaho, a call came in to my uncle. Some of his beef cattle down on the
other side of town had broken out and made off like bandits. This was a problem since it had been 24 hours since the
neighbor had last seen the cows and we'd no idea how far they might of gone.

So the orders went out to gather the horses and tack and load up. This was all new to me, since I'd never been on a
roundup before. But I consulted my memory of Hollywood movies and figured I could do that well enough in an emergency.

But I did ask my uncle for some clarification. He told me to follow the trail, and let the horse do it's thing. Don't
jerk the bit if he wants to turn left and I think right, cause the horse is trained to roundup the cattle. I thought
that was cool and wondered if we couldn't just send off the horses and relax ourselves until they returned. But that
wouldn't work none cause some horses are temperamental like that and won't work without a partner on their back.

So my uncle outfitted me with a cowboy hat. This was important cause if I as a Californian showed up without the right
hat I might take some ribbing from my uncles friends. The hat didn't feel quite right, but he adjusted it and it
settled in. He said I had a good hat head, fortunately.

So we loaded up, and off we went to the south of town. Got there and some other men folk had gathered and were waiting on us. We saddled up and sure enough, there's the trail. So off we headed.

Now I ain't no botanist, so southern Idaho looks about the same to me as central CA, just with volcanic rock strewn
about some and a bit more sage brushy maybe. That made me real careful not to fall off the horse, cause a bad landing might be had.

So we trotted off. This was explained to me as the right speed to go as we needed to get there, wherever there was at
the right speed, but without tired horses. Since the horses was ok with it, that worked out fine.

So we rode about 30 minutes and found us some lazy cattle. Their daring escape ended when they found some nice grass.

So I let loose on the reins and my horse went to the spot it wanted to go to. And sure as the world, some sorta
autopilot kicked in and we got those runaway cows herded right back up and on their way back to their hidey hole.

We arrived back safely, and there Senno learned how to repair a cattle fence. Which might be part 2 of this story at a
later date.

Elvis and his Comebacks

Elvis waits for introduction
off stage left
Awaiting the announcer
and music to play
for the greatest performer
to perform in the round
made many comebacks
and could not be put down
He made spectacular TV appearance
in '68 and did thrill us
with live performance
oh so fine
of his great songs
as he came alive
on stage
for it is true
Elvis still lives
in the minds of me and you
So Elvis is getting psyched up offstage
ready to spring forth
and to play
cause he was irrepressibly Elvis
and did come forth to tell us
that the King is Alive and well

"No More California Dreamin"

No More California dreamin'
is such a sad line
why I am inclined
to throw a pity party
patty cake, patty cake
oops wrong line
why I do think
that if California ain't to your taste
or you find yourself in economic waste
there's the door to leave the state
but be knowing you are leaving the great state
of California
and we won't mourn ya
cause we have our own lives to lead
and our own California Dream
