Dry Summer

Not physically dry here, of course. This is Alberta's first year out of drought. As far as I can tell, the Alberta hay shortage is over, and there'll be lots of hay to feed the horses and cattle this winter.

Especially seeing as how the ranchers will be slaughtering 1/3 of the cattle in Alberta if borders remain closed until October.

At the local grocery store you can buy a cow's worth of beef -- I think it's over 300 lbs. -- for $1000 CDN. Perhaps that'll drop a bit if things continue.

We're caught up on billing work, but now I'm exhausted. More blogging soon, maybe. Life is short.
