It’s early January on Hank’s ranch when Slim and Loper receive word that an ice storm is headed their way. However, just as they’re about to prepare the cattle and stock tanks at the ranch to safely weather the storm, Deputy Kile calls with some bad news. It seems that one of their electric fences has short-circuited, and some of their wheat pasture steers have strayed into town and onto the Twitchell golf course! Slim saddles up his horse and heads off to retrieve the steers, but a few mishaps delay his cowboying just long enough to coat Twitchell in ice....

Have you jumped from perfect diet to perfect diet only to end up sicker than you were when you started? In No More Perfect Diets, author Joey Lott takes us on a compelling and often heart-wrenching journey through his experiments with different dietary systems, shedding light on their promises and ultimate failures. In an era when obesity and degenerative diseases are running rampant, it’s easy to look to the next dietary dogma as the ultimate savior, come to protect us from disease and, ultimately, death, but this book blows apart that theory, suggesting instead a much simpler (and enjoyable) approach to health. We often reject that which is needed. Do you believe you need a restricted, special diet in order to be healthy and happy? Do you spend a lot of time obsessing about food? Fear of certain foods has become so common we often don’t think of it as a problem. The news is filled with stories villainizing fats one decade and carbs the next. But what if you could remove yourself from the entire diet system? With this book, you can. You’ll be inspired to look at your body and health in a whole new way, completely free of gurus and fearmongers.

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians - but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life.
