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.

Lord, we ache with every kind of hurt, empty and lonely and lower than dirt. Most of our colleagues are dead and gone; why, oh why, Lord, do we linger on? Ravaged by fire, we'...
