Out our way, when Charlie and I worked the herds on the Tiger Ridge, neither of us thought to carry a canteen. Even the modern types you can clip to the saddle tend to get in the way, but the truth is, I just didn’t think about it. Pushing a bunch of stubborn cows most of the day along the old road or cattle trails to where they needed to go, watching for those strays that wander off, chasing the ones that bolt from the herd and have to be cut off and driven back, tended to take up my attention. After we finished for the d...

You know, Lord, the wind! Is it forever the wind? It’s hard to have an excess of praise as the windy air crisps the skin and cracks the lips. It’s not quite that bad right now, but one day it surely felt like the foehn wind that came right out of the book, “Wolf Willow’ by Wallace Stegner, which we quote: “The wind that hundreds of miles to the west started up the mountains warm and wet had dropped its moisture on the heights and then came down on our side, totally wrung dry … dry and gaining temperature at the rate of one...
