Vintage Weekly: 101 Ranch and Wild West Show

My great-uncle Barney Kern with Doran. 
(no notes on Doran,
so I don't know if he was a friend or was part of the show)
Barney was the advance man 
for the traveling 101 Ranch and Wild West Show.
My cousin's daughter loaned the album Barney kept 
during his travels so that I could scan the pages.
I never got to know Barney because he died in a car wreck
when I was a baby.

Sounds like he must have been a very interesting man. I would have enjoyed the Wild West Show I think.

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
