So What Did You See Outside Your Window Today?

January 27, 2009 — Pat Bertram

I was looking my window today and happened to see a cattle drive passing in front of my house. Ho-hum.

Well, in a way it was — the first few years I lived here the twice yearly drives fascinated me, but after a while I got used to them. As I looked out the window today, though, it occurred to me I could be seeing one of the world’s last cattle drives, so I grabbed my camera, stood in my driveway, and took these pictures.

Although it looks like it could be the end, these ranchers are still sitting pretty.

“I am Bob, the Right Hand of God. As part of the galactic renewal program, God has accepted an offer from a development company on the planet Xerxes to turn Earth into a theme park. Not even God can stop progress, but to tell the truth, He’s glad of the change. He’s never been satisfied with Earth. For one thing, there are too many humans on it. He’s decided to eliminate anyone who isn’t nice, and because He’s God, He knows who you are; you can’t talk your way out of it as you humans normally do.”
Grief: The Inside Story - A Guide to Surviving the Loss of a Loved One debunks many established beliefs about what grief is, explains how it affects those left behind, and shows how to adjust to a world that no longer contains the loved one. "It is exactly what folk need to read who are grieving." (Leesa Heely Emotional/Mental Health Therapist & Educator).
