If you have land it may be more valuable than you think.  Dig around in it sometime.  This guy found  a head of an animal on his land.  Yep it was dug up.  It was a real big head.  40,000 years old they tell us. And it just sold at auction for $191K.

It is called   Lone Star---and is the world's largest  four-tusk mastodon skull.  Found in North Texas, according to the Dallas  Morning News.

as big as a Volkswagan--they say....maybe that's stretching it  a little, but it is biiiggggg.

Even if you had   $191K to put on it---what would you do with it?

My mantle is too small for it.  And the corner of my bedroom is full of quilts and chairs.  And my walk-in closet is so full I have to have a flashlight to go in there.  My garage has so much in it I have to measure real good when I put the car in to not run over or upon something.

If I put it on the back porch when the grandkids come they will be a-riding it.  And that's too expensive a thing to let them ride.

Well, I guess I'd have to donate it to my local library.

What would you do with it?

Two by Two Ranch and Petting zoo in North Chico was hit hard today by the storm. Disaster struck early this morning when large trees fell through barns and animal shelters. I posted some of the pictures of the damage.

I think this is a nice opportunity for people to win themselves a christmas gift.

Thank you fox!!

I believe that the new "DUTCH BROS" coffee place that just opened up in Red Bluff

is that their coffee seems not to have any cafine in it.

It is so sad to see what young people do nowadays. This young man from Wisconsin who had what seem like a promising future messed up his life in a minute :( And about this towns law enforcement selection well they obviously have to check people out a little better.
