Farming is a "cool and exciting" job; well, it's not really a job.......more of a life-style. It's exciting when the sheriff's dispatcher calls at 2:30 in the morning and says, "Do you still have some cattle on XYZ lane"? You know she's not calling just because she's lonesome or bored. It's exciting when a 10-year employee does something which almost makes your heart stop and you thought all this time he knew what he was doing. It's exciting....not really a good word.....when it hasn't rained for 6 weeks and you tell your wife, "If we don't get some this week, we might as well hang it up". It's cool when that calf you pulled raises and shakes its head and the 2-year old mother lowers her muzzle and gently nuzzles it. It's cool when you go in and tell your wife that you need to go get a tractor and can she carry you down there after it and she slides in the truck with you and you realize all over again why you married her and how lucky you are. It's cool when you're the community welder, carpenter, plumber, electrician, mechanic, brick layer, engineer, and so on, and one of your friends calls up and says, "Bill and I were talking and we want to run this by you and see what you think". Yep, it's a cool and exciting "job".
