Today in 1901: oil gusher in Texas
January 10th 1901 the Spindletop oil well comes. Spindletop was the first great well of the Texas oil bonanza.
So, we go where we go and go when, we have gas. Some that don not, will not and respite will prevail. Winds of change will make our bed unless we will not sail. On that breeze complete, with out ease, and before we sneeze. Let reflect on what was best, and forget the rest, it was a pest. Adjust to what is it that makes some sense. Nor other does best!

The only data difference that resonates…
The amount of people, roads and vehicles, you have to be a cartoon character to understand. There were 1,600,000,000 in 1900 we just went over 8 billion in 2022.
Most of the world is seeking a lifestyle more in line with the US. The Irony is that oil produced the variance. Anyway if you work at it there are lots more friends available.
I would change nothing about myself; I will leave that to forces I come up to and continue to grow in experience and comfort of peace.🤳
Nicola Naturalists Society.
The NNS is participating in the annual Christmas bird count again this year. On Saturday the members and president Alan Burger will go out and count and classify numbers of our our featured friends. The goal beyond the pleasant outing and enjoying a fellowship experience will provide data. The data is for here is usually published by February and those that care take note over time and experience in the dynamics of ornithology and its progress or decline.
This will be the 24th Christmas Bird Count in the Merritt count circle. You don’t have to be an expert birder to participate – the count is done in groups and there are always one or more experienced birders in each group. So this is a great way to learn the winter birds in the Nicola Valley. To register please email: nicolanaturalists@gmail.com
Wranglers are happy people just ask Levi.

Income range
Aggressive paid athletic performers such as Pro rodeo cowboys according to some sources may make upwards of a million dollars i per annum. The US average cowboy performers make under 40 thousand dollars a year and top out mid $70,000 a year.l
Injuries
Pro rodeos hire clowns to protect performers from excited livestock. However serious injury is a reasonable risk for some to take.
Trends
The romantic lifestyle of the Rodeo cowboy is always in jeopardy and for people to establish themselves on the pro circuit they risk injury and poverty on a long road up. The hundred performances a year is also a cumulative claim on a person’s life.
The local Rodeo Association in Merritt is hosting the local pro Rodeo Sept 3 and 4th “Rodeo is back” is trending.
Preserving Merritt’s Western heritage…
Nicola Valley Pro Rodeo September Third and Forth 2022, Merritt BC
Long and Strong bring muscle to bear.
One purpose to rate, make no mistake
Win or lose; makes no prose.
But stick it out and champion lore to adore!
Be your best with no pest, that’s the test.
Until your place invites your pose.
Then respect and value will impose, life grand.
And you live forever in the minds of many.
Who knew the game and played beyond penny!
