Remember last week when I said that magnetic north and south could just up and swap ends and that birds’ ability to migrate properly could be disrupted by that or by the mad scientists in France who are planning on firing up a magnet that’s 280,000 times more powerful than Earth’s magnetic field? Fun times. I’ll bet that more people than just the two who said it to my face were thinking, “Oh, Pam. You and your brain hopped up on google-y things are willing to write all manne...

Under first-year head coach Brett Vigen, and first-year starting quarterback Matt McKay the Bobcats have ripped off four straight wins after opening the season with a narrow loss to Wyoming. And yet, it seems like no-one is really paying much attention. Even the Cats’ No. 10 ranking in the FCS Stats Poll seems a bit too low. But while the B...

Out our way, working cows is a team effort, especially on those big round up days. We really count on each other to get the job done, and a successful gathering points to that team effort. None of us could do it alone. But, now and then, something goes wrong and instead of working together for the common goal, someone goes their own way and ends up working against the goal.

Have you every been around a 3- or 4-year-old who persists in asking you, over and over, "Why?" "How come?" You can answer them, but they will ask again, "But, why?" As far as we can tell, humans are the only species that considers "Why?" or "How did that happen?" Through the ages, we place our wonderings into our stories.
