Yep, been chased by cows when we were lil' kids and we were teasing them, all they wanted to do was munch on some grass. Boy did we learn how fast they can run that day.
Cows, unlike many four legged animals, can kick sideways. I learned that lesson from when we milked our beautiful Candy girl. She was a beautiful Jersey that got cow pocks. Now try and milk a poor cow that is hurtin' so bad, she had to be milked, she probably would have blew up if we didn't and that would be rather messy. I can't count the times I felt that poor girls wrath. Beautiful day, beautiful life. Cindi

The toughest milking job I ever had was milking a cow after it had gone through the fence into the woods in order to birth its calf. The barbbed wire lascerated her teats and my Dad had to sew them up then slapped on the bag balm. That cow went through the barn roof with every squeeze during hand milking. I had to do it because my brother refused to milk any of Dads cows and Dad was busy milking the rest of the herd--I was 8.

Brian, oh that poor cow. What terrible pain that must have been for her. I can only imagine. Candy did not have the pox on her teets, it was all over her udder though, deep painful pox. But as you know, it is pretty hard to milk a cow without in some way her udder being involved. Yes, we used bag balm, anything to try to alleviate her pain. The pox was gone after about 7 days, if my memory serves me, thank goodness for her and for me. Beautiful day, great life. Cindi

Well I did my part I sent my congressman and my county commissioners an email describing my plight with the TSA. I got a response a few days ago. http://www.understudy.net/files/tsa_response.pdfBasic translation. We don't care we aren't going to do anything about it. Things will stay the same. And please welcome Mr. Horne to the No Fly list. Sincerely, Brendhan |

Better not to joke about this!!.
Anyway it was a nicely written letter, and they forwarded your concerns. So now we can see if there is any response to it.

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.The TSA response is nicely written. However since nothing changes it means nothing. They will continue to steal and violate civil rights and deal with it by writing nice letters. Sorry the TSA can as Bender says "Bite my shiny, metal ass! " Sincerely, Brendhan |

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)
