15 Years Ago

March 21, 2003

It was the cold outside that bound us together better inside the Mule Barn truck stop. The coffee warmed our innards and the laughter at the philosophy counter heated our souls to very comfortable.

It was Doc who noticed it first. He’s trained to be observant, of course.

“Dudley, me lad,” said Doc, “are you on a diet?”

Dud, whose body would fall into the “just right” category, shook his head.

“Not me, Doc. Why do you ask?”

“Every day, for years, you put sugar in your coffee. You didn’t this morning.”

HUMILITY AND HONOR

“The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.” Proverbs 15:33

The Bureau of Land Management is asking for comments from the public as it considers offering nearly 22,000 acres in Colorado at an upcoming oil and gas lease sale.

Parcels under consideration are located in Baca, Huerfano, Kiowa, Lincoln, Washington and Weld counties. Slightly over 1,285 acres are federal land, while the remainder is referred to as “split estate,” in which the BLM manages mineral rights while the surface may be privately owned.
