 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, October 09, 2003 VOL. II Issue 10D INDIAN SUMMER BRINGS EARLY WEANING Because of temps in the 80s this week, the cowboys at the Ponderosa were able to get caught up on a lot of their Summer work. The corral has been spruced up with guard rail fence and new lumber. The old lumber has been hauled away to be used for kindling this winter. Darrel has decided to wean his calves early chosing just 10 days before pheasant hunting season when the fire of a rifle is sure to spook them through a fence. Usually calve are weaned in November. All of us at the Holabird Advocate sure hope Darrel knows what he's doing. NEW BUSINESS FOR HOLABIRD AREA Jerry Hinkle has announced that the area of the Ponderosa formerly known as "the automobile graveyard" will be hencefoth known as "Hinkle Automotive Used and Abused Car Lot". Jerry has pledged to sell any car to anybody who make a good faith offer, with the proviso that they not be too fussy about the title. JERRY HINKLE OFFERRED RELIGIOUS TRAINING: HEAVEN HELP US After Jerry Hinkle's star turn in "A Good Land" A few people have told him that he should take up the ministry. Mary Hinkle has taken it up a notch by trying to talk him into going to the Certified Lay Speaker Training that the Methodist Church offers in Aberdeen. Jerry has nixed the plan because nobody would be home to give his grandfather pudding at 3 o'clock if he were not there. CALIFORNIA RECALLS GOVERNOR DAVIS FOR AHNOLD by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate In the special recall election the voters of the People's Republic of California have chosen to get rid of Governor Gray "Grey out" Davis in favor of Arnold "The Terminator" Schwartzenegger. Even the Governor himself voted for the recall, joining the 57% of the voters who threw him out of office. Arnold got 48% of the vote from the crowded field of 100+ candidates. This is a story that I have avoided devoting too much space to, seeing as how it doesn't effect Holabird, nor even south Dakota in general. I have been watching this little expermint in democracy. The people spoke, and they chose Arnold. a man who came to this country speaking very little English, a true immigrant success story. A story that could only happen in America. When he first got to this country, he changed his name to Arnold Strong (I wish he'd have kept the change, because Strong is so much easier to spell). The people in California haven't always had it their way. They voted overwhelmingly for medical marijuana and against welfare for illegal aliens. The State Government has not abided the wishes of the people. But now the people got thier way. I wish the new Governor of the People's Republic of California well. The Liberals in and out of california have been acting as though the voters are not smart enough to think for themselves and handle their own affairs. I hope that Arnold proves them all wrong. he might surprize us all, you know. Paul Harvey said this afternoon that Arnold has a business degree from the University of Wisconsin. He may have need of it.
