Your neighbor and website maintainer,
D.J. Rasmussen
I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee break Monday, guys. Get you a cup of coffee, glass iced tea. Beautiful day. Bottle of water. Let's see what's happening.
OK Solberg:Spring lead, $5.66 a bushel. $5-6-6 Nothing to brag about, but wash your ears out with this like Paul Harvey used to say. A 550 pound steer calf even higher than last week, $3.88 a pound, I kid you not, Pays last week. Billings, Montana.
OK Solberg:Casey Wilmore from Roy, Montana had seven head of steers, 556 pounds apiece at three eighty eight. That penciled out to $2,157 per head. But who's counting? Right? How about your hog in Omaha?
OK Solberg:Eighty One Cents a pound, a hundred pound fat lamb in Billings at $2.15. But, guys, there's more, much more. It's a new week. Like I said, let's do something new. You know the old game where I say a word and you tell me the first thing that pops into your head.
OK Solberg:Okay? Ready? Up. Did you say down? Here's another one, hot.
OK Solberg:Did you say cold? So with that setting the stage, I'm gonna share the start of a line from a popular song years ago and you fill in the blanks. I'll tell you the correct answer at the end of the episode. Ready? I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
OK Solberg:Fill in the blank. And one more. There's something happening here. Did you get them? I bet you did.
OK Solberg:I'll give you the answers at the end. Let's have a bible verse for today. This verse will set the stage for my main theme. Listen now. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such is good for building up as fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear.
OK Solberg:Ephesians four twenty nine. Those are good words, but hard to follow, aren't they? Always good words to build people up. Hey. My dad worked around Clay Hails often.
OK Solberg:He put up hay on Clay's place. I learned to drive the tractor there when I was young. My father told me on several occasions that he never heard Clay speak a harsh or negative word about anyone. Isn't that a great compliment? I wish they could say that about me.
OK Solberg:I've thought about it often. Well, all this talk was spawned by a friend coming into my office on Friday. And in the great conversation, this person said it's kinda like the old saying, what Susie says about Sally says more about Susie than of Sally. Wow. I had never heard that one before.
OK Solberg:Now I'll never forget it. Had you heard it? I bet you have. I'm always the last to know. Well, like they say, better late than never.
OK Solberg:So let's look at that statement a little today. The saying, what Susie says about Sally says more of Susie than of Sally, suggests that the negative things one person says about another reveal more about the speaker's own character and insecurities than about the person they're criticizing. This phrase implies projections of Susie's own flaws or anxieties. Susie and Sally represent any two individuals in a situation where one is critical of the other. The phrase suggests that Susie's criticisms are often a reflection of her own internal struggles rather than an accurate portrayal of Sally.
OK Solberg:Susie might be putting Sally down to make herself feel better or to avoid confronting her on her own shortcomings, but the saying encourages us as individuals to examine our own motives and biases when judging others or saying negative things about them to other people, end of quote. I like to have things that are helpful, and that saying is helpful for me. It helps me remember no... let no corrupting talk come out of your mouth, but only such is good for building up good stuff. And I'll always remember Susie and Sally. And let's not forget Clay Hales.
OK Solberg:Okay. How'd you do? I'm gonna fill in the rest of the line from the song. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
OK Solberg:The animals, 1965. How about the other one, Dan Perry? There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear. Extra credit if you can name the group that made the song popular, three seconds, one two three, Buffalo Springfield nineteen sixty seven.
OK Solberg:If you got them right, I owe you frosty lemonade sometime this summer. Gotta run. So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
