My Wednesday’s Guest today is my friend Slim Randles. If it wasn’t for him, I would probably have a lot of blank pages on Wednesdays. (smile) Thanks to Slim for being so generous with his work. He doesn’t get paid for this. I don’t get paid for this. We just do it because we like …

Some cowboy humor from my friend, Slim Randles. Enjoy….. When Harley Jacobsen came into Doc’s office the other day for his physical – you know, the one his wife, Gladys, insists on from time to time – it was a treat for Doc. Harley is one of Doc’s favorite people. Harley is a farmer. Not …
