The well-heeled lobbyists for out-of-state private e...
Up at 6:30 and out the door to walk Lola. The sun is almost up, the sky spread cool with night clouds. These days, when Lola and I go walk-about, I have an entourage. A few months ago Josue and family adopted a pup, named him Hunter. He is mild-mannered. Most of the time. He thinks I am his. When he hears my belled gate open, Hunter bounds like Tigger, meets me with wet tongue greetings. Lola takes lead. Hunter races between me and Lola. Hunter does not walk. Pup, remember. A...

You may recall that incident at one fall roundup when Charlie and I were gathering the herd to move down to the winter pasture. Naturally as the "greenhorn preacher/cowhand" I rode drag, and...

Entitlement, used in this sense, is someone's belief that one deserves some particular reward or benefit. We feel that we have "earned" the...
