Mules. Described by Google as “the sterile offspring of a female horse and a male donkey, valued as a work animal, having strong muscles, a body shaped like a horse, and donkey like long ears, small feet, and sure footedness.” Described by me as “ a fabulous pair of slip-on shoes that you can wear all day no matter how hard you shop”. Much smaller and much more comfortable than the “real thing.”

“This whole election process just doesn’t work for me,” Dud said, sipping his coffee. “There’s no way we can tell who is best for the job.”
Doc, being the senior member of the Mule Barn truck stop’s world dilemma think tank, looked kindly at Dud. “Well, haven’t you been reading what each candidate stands for, Dud?”
Dud shrugged. “Sure. But I firmly believe they only tell you what you want to hear. They’re the best, and the other fella is going to take you straight to ruined aspirations.”

The new version of “The Magnificent Seven” (a remake of a 1960 Western that I have not seen, itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “The Seven Samurai,” which I have) is one of those movies that starts off looking award-worthy, but gradually loses steam until it’s nearly unwatchable by the end. There’s no one point where it really drops the ball, it just consistently fails to capitalize on its impressive early scenes.
The Lamar Community College Rodeo team will host its annual Antelope Stampede through October 2, at the Prowers County Sand & Sage Fairgrounds.
Fourteen teams from throughout Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska will compete over three days with performances at 2:00 pm on Saturday, and 11:00 am on Sunday.
