Some of you may be familiar with the Blue Collar Comedian Bill Engvall who has a routine about stupid people. The whole idea behind his idea is that when people ask you a dumb question you can just hand them a sign that says “I'm stupid.”
No matter where I go people look at my truck tags and ask me “You from Colorado?” I want to say “Nope, I just like the color of their tags.” Here's your sign.

Those of you who have been subjected to such antics will most assuredly tell Ol' Dutch to “run for the hills.” But the fishing is getting good and even the thought of scantily clad people of the female persuasion cannot drive me from the beach. Ol' Dutch will endure somehow.
Read MoreSome of you are of the age that you can actually remember what a rotary dial phones. For those of you too young for such mechanical dinosaurs, it consisted of a dial on top of a black box that made a nice clickity-clack sound with each number you dialed. Think the movie poster for Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder. Oh, wait, you are probably too young for that, too.
If your finger slipped off or you made an error while using a rotary phone, you had to hang up and start all over again. Somehow in the dark recesses of a rusty mind I recall our number when I was a kid. It was Gladstone 359. So you dialed GL359 to reach us.

One of the primary ways we do that is through a page called Facebook. The user puts in pictures and information about his or herself and suddenly their entire lives are out there for the rest of the world to see whether we want to or not.
Read MoreOl' Dutch hadn't been in the bachelor way very long before certain older women began teaching him some of the better ways of cleaning. I am not sure if that was due to needing some help in that department or just in the interest of their wanting to raise another son.
Two products immediately came into action in the war against germs and odors both of which a bachelor has a plethora of: baking soda and vinegar.

Read MoreSometimes things happen in life and either you learn to laugh at the ridiculous or fall into utter despair at the impossibilities we face. I think the Dallas Ebola outbreak is just such a time.
While it’s a horrible threat to the entire world and may be the ultimate pandemic in the end, the media’s response borders from absolute stupidity to insanity.
I got a Facebook post that shows a man in a lab coat and it says “How come all the Zombie movies always start with a man in a lab coat assuring us things are under control?”
Read MoreLast week found me traveling out of the Valley on my winter sojourn to warmer climes in search of more fishing adventures. All was fine until I started down the east side of La Veta Pass where all of a sudden I lost the trailer brakes.
I pushed down hard on the brake pedal but if felt like a spoiled peach. Things soon got hot and the truck started shaking and bumping and grinding all over the highway like I did the last time I walked across the beach barefoot.
Only the truck wasn’t quite as loud as I was. My hair was standing on end and turned two shades whiter while Cooper slept on. That just shows you that dogs trust God more than we do -- or something like that.
A quick consult with the man upstairs was in order and He must of not been too busy this day as I was able to bring the entire rig to a halt at the bottom without incident.
