A NR standalone turkey tag in AR is $325

Curious why did you attend the tagging with no intention of selling ? I agree that trappers should support their trapper associations if they care to but still you are free to choose what you wish to do.

don't bother with logic and reason , it doesn't work on crazy cat ladies and they have nothing but time to fight you

if they die fighting you and feeding 100 cats and the house has to be torn down because it is a health hazard , they get some special martyrs reward of 1000 free to feed cats that don't poop in cat lady paradise.

it's a disease but you get torn to shreds if you try and point it out.

That the convicts who escaped from Alcatraz made it out alive.

Got me today.

Happy Birthday Ed! Hope your day is great. Thanks for the daily picture posts.

Going to be 65 degrees today here in lovely Lawrence, Kansas.

Our normal is 15 but I've been seeing 30

Law Dog, I think the "Not for Profit" health care systems will get a reality check from the federal government in how they spend their money so premiums won't rise as fast, if for nothing else because they aren't corporations and aren't traded on Wall Street so investors can make money off of them.

Just take a look at one of our South Dakota health care "royalty" and what they have gotten away with so far over the past 40 years. I'm pretty sure "S" still operates under a charter, or at least started that way, from the City of Sioux Falls so its run by a non-public, no share holder board of directors. They already had started expanding when I started working there in 1989 (my wife in 1986) but that greatly accelerated when carpetbagger Kelby showed up from further south and then got tied into old Uncle D. They "bought" up the largest North Dakota system but got whacked by Minnesota state government when they wanted to buy one of the Twin Cities hospitals.

Kelby burned through hundreds of millions of old (now decrepit) D's money expanding and building but then "retired" from the system with something of a 8 figure amount. The old S system lay rather quiet for a while but then last year acquired a couple dozen store for profit drug store chain when the G family (the 3rd or 4th generation) no longer wanted to do that work. There's no law that says that a "not for profit" health care system can't have any "for profit" divisions but at some point the facade of it not being a corporation or a truly privately owned company that supposely pays corporate taxes will wear thin with the federal government. Or so I hope.

P.S. I left Kelby land for good in 2002 but had only been working there non-scheduled part time after I got another full time job in 2000.

covid - can get away blaming everything on it

What’s a re work horse?
