“The rolling in shit can stop.”

I’m pleased that Ghost has come to some new normal in the matter of the cattle. Unfortunately it does involve rolling in fresh cowshit and then coming inside to share the experience with me. But at least if he’s chasing cattle he’s doing it at night and keeping it to himself. This is good.

This morning we encountered two cowboys rounding up a bunch of cattle for reasons I didn’t bother to ask, and they were accompanied by a couple of cattle dogs who were having a very good time. Both Ghost and Little Bear, trapped in the Jeep, thought this was the worst thing they had ever seen. Fortunately I had to go to the biggish town about 35 miles away to buy siding, and that gave me excuse to lock the boys in the cabin until said cowboys and dogs had gone away. Otherwise Ghost would surely have headed out to demand satisfaction. This is going to be a very long summer.

I’d happily show you all the siding I bought, since some of you paid for it, but unfortunately I impulsively updated WordPress and this new version doesn’t seem to think attaching photos is important. There doesn’t seem to be a way to do it. In fact there are no formatting buttons of any kind. I’m very upset about this. No doubt there are ways to do it, but so far the secrets have not been imparted. Let’s see if it will let me do it manually…
Well, I can add a link.
Oh, cool, the preview page doesn’t work either. Why do these people thing it necessary to update their software by ruining it? Is it some strange drug they take?

Maybe it’ll make more sense in the morning.
