Ruff's Renderings

Happy Birthday, Dynamite DoRight! Let's have a poker party under the gazebo!

This last week, Wednesday, August 26, 2009, we said goodbye to a true leader and liberal lion of the U.S. Senate, Edward M. Kennedy, who found his voice, purpose in the US Senate and challenged us all to live out our noblest values.We give thanks the legacy he left behind, which benefits us all and inspires us still.

One generation of the Kennedy era has come to an end passing the torch to another generation. If we ALL come together, we can make sure "The Dreams Shall Never Die." Let us continue Kennedy's purpose of making America better for ALL!

As to the "Prairie Home Companion," Marvin says, "We have Prairie Home Companion on PBS. The broadcast is on Saturday at 6 pm, then repeat on Sunday at noon. Check out your local PBS station."

Last week Roy said, "Yes it has cooled in Oklahoma (at least here in the Perry area), and last week we had about 6 inches of rain (spread out over three days)."

As to the Freedom Rodeo ... one of regular readers, Marty says, "I really do miss the pictures you use to post from the Freedom rodeo. Maybe someone would like to share what they have. I know Phillip Schultz. Our family lived near his parents, Ben & Edith Schultz. I also went to school at Moundridge."

Do we have any photographers out there that would love to share some of their Freedom Rodeo photos and stories of this years shootout, old cowhand reunion and Rodeo?

There was an article in The Oklahoman that mentioned, "Six Earthquakes Hit Oklahoma Today." It seems like they are getting more frequent and stronger.

Butch says, "There was also a quake or two just north of Ada, near Seminole, Oklahoma. Boy, those are getting to close to home."
