Thanks! It incredibly hard work. He never takes a day off and his wife told me they never have been on vacation. They can’t even go to the auction because his brother broke his leg when a large piece of equipment fell on him last week. Hoping for a good price for them too!

Yes, the tariffs will apply to horses from Europe, Canada and islands inhabited by penguins. Total insanity. I have a lot of breeder friends who sell horses from Canada. This is killing them.

Clear cutting protected forests to make up for the 30% of timber the US normally gets from Canada? This is NOT sustainable in any meaning of the word. The deranged lunatic is destroying everything.

I’ve been inactive here for a while. Just been in shell shock I guess. Our biggest economic problem has been the cost of housing. How are these tariffs helping that?! Here is a good article from MIT about what we need.

The surprising barrier that keeps us from building the housing we need

Sure, there's too much red tape, but there is another reason building anything is so expensive: the construction industry's "awful" productivity.

We’ve been hearing that the federal workers purge has also hit the wild Mustang holding areas and adoption programs hard. Project 2025 calls for the euthanasia of all wild Mustangs. I can’t imagine this really happening, but I think we need answers now.

My colleagues are contacted regularly by recruiters. I never am. Why? Because I‘m over 50 (ageism is rampant in Europe). DEI doesn’t mean I would automatically be hired because of my age. It just means employers would know I exist and find out how qualified I am.
