Famous

For those of you who don't know, Margo works for an organization called ATTRA. It is a non-profit sustainable agriculture information service funded by the USDA. They have offices throughout the U.S. and one of them is in Fayetteville. It is a great place for farmers to get resources and publications on how to do farm related things to make them more sustainable and profitable (all of you farmers and gardeners out there should check it out). Margo is one of their livestock specialist, and her main specialty is goats. This makes me proud because I love goats. Anyway, she goes to lots of conferences and even gets to speak at some of them and do presentations and stuff like that. Well, she was at one up in Missouri a few weeks ago and a farm news program was there covering it and did a piece on meat goats. The name of the show is "This Week in Agribusiness" and it comes on some local TV stations throughout the U.S. and on cable and satellite on RFD TV. Margo and one of her co-workers, Linda, got interviewed for the segment and were on the show. Many of you may not get the show so I thought I would post the video here for you to see (they posted the interview on youtube).



On a totally other and random subject. As some of you may know, The Late Show with David Letterman is one of my favorite shows and has been for probably 10+ years. I love the show and think Letterman is very funny. We have been to see his show a few times in New York, and actually were almost on the show, we even got taped but the producers decided not to do it. I can tell any of you who have not heard that story some other time. Back to my point of this, Letterman has been doing this bit every night for the past few weeks in his beginning standup routine making fun of Mitt Romney. I am not anti Mitt Romney or anything but this bit was really funny and I wanted to share it with any of you who do not watch Letterman. Basically, Letterman gives a lot of examples of who Mitt Romney looks like. Here is a pic for reference.


Here is a condensed list of Letterman's people Mitt Romney looks like.

He looks like the guy that winks at you when he shakes your hand.
Mitt looks like a guy wearing a golf shirt in an Eddie Bauer catalogue.
He looks like the owner of the steakhouse who keeps interrupting dinner to find out how things are going.
He looks like the desk clerk at a hotel who tells you your room's not ready.

We were watching Lost last night and Josh kept saying "Jack-the guy who winks at you when he shakes your hand. Jack-the guy who keeps interrupting you to ask how your dinner is...etc". It's official. Jack is Mitt Romney's younger double.

It's always a treat to have famous friends. When we start raising goats (and slaughtering them) in our backyard, you'll be my first source of expertise.

Way to go, Margo!
