Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

From The Corner Of My Mind

* 11 degrees when I left this morning. It was the same when I got to the location. A warm up is on the way. Near 70 on Sunday. Only in Texas.
* W-spouse is doing much well and starting to get around better.
* Thanks for all the comments on the bullying post yesterday. Thank you to the person that sent the email with words of encouragement on the blog. I have considered just trailing it off to nothing in the last few weeks, only because after watching the stat counter each day, the stat numbers are minimal. I then get an email with words like that and it makes me want to keep it going.
* I'm not fishing for comments, so don't reply to the last post.
* I have averaged less than 200 hits a day. Way less than that on the weekends. Out of that number, about 20 ISP addresses are very familiar.
* We watched the season premier of Justified last night. It was good, not great.
* We haven't seen Inception yet. We need to watch it so we can be truthful in an upcoming vote.
* Oh, by the way, we don't even have a hot tub. That was a joke. So quit asking to come join us.
* I wonder how much longer that NASCAR teams will be able to legally be sponsored by companies that sell alcohol?
* Crown Royal sponsors teams now. When you go to their trailer to buy a t-shirt, cap or anything else, you have to be 18 to just purchase anything with their logo on it. You can step up to the next trailer if your 10 years old and buy a t-shirt sponsored by Miller Light. I don't get that logic?
* Anyone can buy Office Depot or Mobil 1 products, so you need to just root for Tony Stewart in the #14 car.
* Can you tell that Nascar kicks off this weekend?
* My stats will probably go way down during the season because the majority of my readers think that NASCAR is just "Mash the gas and turn left". I hope that I get at least one of you watching before the season is over. Even better than that, you might get the chance to attend a race and festivities with us.
* This looks good.
* Did you notice the changes I made to the page? I added a few new blogs to the blog roll over there that I think you will find useful, or an interesting read. This one has something for everyone. There is also a link to WIki that gives you a random generated topic each time you click on it.
* I removed a few on the blog roll that I will replace when they update the blog or go back public.
* The location that we are working on is in the middle of a 300 acre wheat field. There are about 150 heifers that are grazing it each day. They have it picked down to nothing, nearly bare ground. The farmer is putting out 3-4 round bales a day for them.
* I miss working with cattle. I used to do that all the time.
* Thanks for sharing your time today, see ya Around The Corner!

Well, I don't rightly care what you say, I'm going to reply to your post. Cuz your not the boss a me!!!!

I read your blog every day. I like reading your blog. I know alot of other people do too.

You are a nice guy, and I love following things about your life and family. I love reading how you talk about your wife. I think alot of people appreciate the positive and uplifting things you have to say.

I would be very sad if you stopped it.

So there!!! :P

Mr. Corner,
personally I love reading your blog every day its always good stuff. Granted I have a personal interest in you and your family but I still love the things you have to say! I am so ready for NASCAR I always love going to the race in April and I am looking forward to it this year! But I am a Harvick fan big time. I like Tony Stewart he is a good dude but he's no Harvick! I also can't stand Earnhardt Jr. so don't get me started on that no talent punk!
Take care,
Jeffro

Hope you keep up the blog, I really enjoy it. I know it is a ton of work. I've tried it and I think the last entry I have on my blog is from August 7 last year.

Not fishing for a comment? I thought thats what you did for a living. "Fishing" I mean. haha

Justified is awesome. I love Elmore Leonard stuff plus I'm a big Timothy Olyphant fan.

Can't wait til April gets here, we have our same tickets and camping spots. Until then I'm taking a few days off for Daytona.
