    Your Favorite Movie?

    This math exercise will only take you about ten seconds. Amazingly, it really works and will reveal your all-time favorite movie. I'm pretty good at math, so I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my numerical capabilities. Each time I got the same...

    Texas – Ag Sales Tax Exemption Change

    It looks like those of us involved in Texas agriculture will have to get a registration number to continue our sales tax exemption on items outside “the list”. Other states may already have something like this but it’s all new for Texas. Historically, all we had to do was fill out a short and...

    A Cowboy Named Bud

    A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes , RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how...
