How The Hen House Turns—The Power Of Awareness

By CARY NEEPER
Formerly of Los Alamos
 
As I look back on our forty-six years in Los Alamos, I am especially grateful for the opportunity our children had there—to raise animals. Their love for “others” still impacts all their lives.
 
We are thankful—not only to the county for its understanding of the lessons learned from knowing animals, but to the tolerant neighbors who understood the occasional barking and crowing during the occasional early hour.

Home Country: Just Doc And Old Tom

Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
 
It was strange, Doc thought. All these years. All these people. It still hurts.
 
Old Tom had died around midnight, and Doc didn’t get more than an hour’s sleep since then. Just before he went, Tom reached out and gripped Doc’s hand and thanked him for everything. He was smiling when he went.
 
Somehow that made it worse for Doc than just having death bring a pleasant new start for someone in pain and agony. Doc hadn’t been able to patch him up this time. When someone Tom’s age has his organs shut down, there just isn’t much a doctor can do but make him comfortable
