Howdy, friends and neighbors!  My computer is finally back to work after its two week long protest against the world.  So, what in the world do I write about?

For the past two weeks I sure have been meaning to go to Elk City and set up my own “Occupy 3rd Street Protest” but I just can’t find the time to do it.  Well, we did get a nice rain last weekend; from two inches to two and nine tenths inches around.  And it was all out to get some wheat sowed before it dried out too much.  But as soon as I get the last seed in the ground I’m going to rally the rest of my outta work buddies, well, as soon as they get done sowing wheat, and we are going to “Occupy 3rd Street” in the huge city of Elk City.  Why 3rd street?  It’s where all those rich bankers are that’s why and they are just cleaning up with their greedy loans!  Um… well never mind the loan I went in and signed up for!  Wait, the four loans that I signed up for…  And matter of fact one of those loans was for seed, fertilizer and rent for the wheat pasture that I have been sowing for the past week.

Come to think of it, another loan is for the cows that I bought that by-the-way, I really need to gather, wean, process, preg-check, sort and sell at one of those evil capitalist owned sale barns in the next few weeks.  So, the protest is just gonna have to be put off a while longer.  But as soon as we un-employed folks out here get the cattle laid by then here we come with our cardboard protest signs, L.L. Bean designer tents, Eddie Bauer sleeping bags, and Starbucks coffee so we can “Occupy 3rd Street!”  And Main St. because that’s where the sale barn is!

Oh, this “Occupy 3rd Street” is going to be huge.  We can all meet at the brand new Tractor Supply store parking lot to organize.  Someone needs to get card stock for protest signs.  Oh, I know, get a bunch of those Penny News papers with all those “help wanted and career opportunity” ads in them. Or we could just buy a space heater and some kerosene at the Ace lumber yard or Atwoods.  After we gather at Tractor Supply then let’s march straight down the newly re-surfaced and re-designed 3rd Street to those greedy bankers!  After a couple of rallies we could stay the night at the park.  And just leave all the trash behind because someone else will pick it up later.

Boy this is going to be harder than I thought.  We will all need to get back to our farms and feed cows, check water and scout for army worms before we march downtown.

You know, after all this planning and organizing this here “Occupy 3rd Street” bologna, I think I would be way better off just staying home and working!

I’m Monte Tucker, and there will be no “Occupy 3rd Street” protest until we get all our work done.  Where’s my hat, I gotta get to sowing wheat.
