When I come to Montana one thing is a must;To read Tricia’s Trader with my breakfast;And though the stories are kind of short;

Some of the gags make me laugh and snort.

But I can ask this question ‘cause you are from Turner;For when I am curious I want to learn ‘er;

And I heard a reference from a cowboy poet;About Big Flat Ladies and I wanted to know it.

Could it be genetic or maybe the diet;I hope it’s not something you wanted kept quiet;Would different built ladies be met with a frown;

Would Ms. Dolly Parton be run out of town.

Though I don’t want to be breaking the Code of the West;A well built young lady is a Cowboy Eye Test;And if Big Flat Ladies are your claim to fame;I guess I’ll keep movin’ Thanks just the same.

And though cowboy poets tell the truth all the time;Unless it is needed for the sake of a rhyme;

Maybe it is not true, maybe he told a lie;But ‘til I learn different, I guess, I’LL JUST PASS BY.

There’s also an outfit called Big Flat Meats;I think it must be road kill served up as a treat;

If there is a market I could be surprised;Even though Big Flat Meats must be well tenderized.

We are proud to feature guest poet Ken Blacklock of Canada in this issue of Tricia’s Trader. Mr. Blacklock wrote this piece a while back in response to a Fred Liese poem referring to “Big Flat Ladies” who served a potluck meal in Turner. . . enjoy!


Creation StoryOn the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.” The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?” So God saw it was good.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.” The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dig did?” And God, again, saw it was good.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.” The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?” And God agreed it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.” But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?” “Okay,” said God, “You asked for it.”

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. you may agree, you may disagree

With dr. Kerns’ ramblings, but you Will alWays have something

to discuss over dinner.

The Carlos Addiction I am an addict, but it’s not my fault, its Carlos’s fault. Addictions come in two flavors: Good and not-so-good. Running is a good one. My obsessive-compulsive behavior began after watching 37-year-old Carlos Lopes, win the 1984 Olympic Marathon. To win the marathon at that age is certainly inspiring, but the rest of his story is even more motivating. Mimicking a Blue Heeler chasing a feed truck, Carlos was on a training run the week before the Olympics when he was run over by a car. He wasn’t expected to recover enough to even travel, much less win the gold. Watching him, I decided to be a runner. My first step to be a running junkie began Monday, August 13th 1984. I laced up my running shoes (for-merly called tennis shoes) and sprinted down the street. Unfortunately, real life is never quite as rosy it’s portrayed on television and the next two miles were 30 minutes of pure hell. My second day as a runner was worse than the first and I questioned why I watched the Olympics in the first place. Day three I showed the first brilliant spark of improvement by trimming a full five minutes off my two-mile time…by taking a shortcut. After 27 years, I am just like Carlos—I am a runner. On March 7th, in the pre-dawn darkness in Helena, my running days were seriously crippled in a crash on the icy sidewalk. After a short ambulance ride to the hospital, the ER doctor quietly studied the x-rays of my fractured fibula and dislocated ankle, before announcing it could be a year before I could run again. Five days later while prep-ping me for surgery, the orthopedic surgeon removed my splint, studied my bruised, blistered and swollen leg before stating, “If you were a diabetic, you would lose this leg. Let’s postpone surgery a couple weeks.” I nodded, but I quietly thought, “Carlos was run over chasing cars in Portugal and he won the Olympic Mara-thon the following week. I’m not going to let one little broken leg stop me.” Fourteen days later I was in surgery and as Dr. Martin tightened the last screw on my new bone plate I asked, “You’ve probably never repaired a fracture on a Black Lab, have you?” He shook his head no. “Labs are orthopedic patients from hell because they will chase rabbits the day after surgery and can eat through a thirty day splint in two days,” I explained. “I probably will be more like a Lab than you can imagine.” Dr. Martin chuckled, but said nothing as he tightly cinched the Velcro splint boot over my incision. Three weeks after surgery, in true retriever form, I stripped off my Velcro boot and handcrafted a running splint from a volleyball ankle brace, ace bandages and electrical tape. (I couldn’t find any duct tape.) It was 50 degrees on a sunny afternoon when I hobbled into the street for my first run. The inflexibility of my custom running apparatus made my stride clumsy and awkward. With a gait resembling a one legged, triple-jumper, I zoomed past the Capital High School track where all the young athletes were practicing. Silence swept the gathering as I crow-hopped along the sidewalk. More curious than inspired, a blonde girl leaned into the chain-link fence and asked, “Are you okay?” “For today, this is as good as it gets,” I shot back. Although I wasn’t moving fast enough to feel the breeze in my hair, in my mind I was a Labrador chasing a rabbit. Over this past week, I’ve done several three-milers and I must be improving because complete strangers no longer ask if I’m okay. Running is a good addiction because it benefits or harms me and only me. This brings me to my second point: Not-so-good addictions. Montanans are hopelessly addicted to federal dollars. Of the $10.2 billion we spent over the 2011 biennial budget, $4.9 billon came from the federal government—obviously with strings attached. Every 3.26 million federal dollars gifted to the Treasure State comes complete with one gray wolf. Montanans, our wildlife and livestock, may not want the wolves, but we are hopelessly addicted to federal dollars, so like a battered spouse, we take the good with the bad. The final stumbling block in last week’s budget negotiations between the Montana Legislature and our gov-ernor is 100 million more “free” federal dollars. The budget committees initially refused to expand the programs fed by these funds, but in the end they capitulated, so government grows. Our governor will be portrayed as the champion of the poor for accepting these addictive dollars, while the legislature will be tarnished as misers attempting to balance the budget on the backs of the poverty class. The truth is found in the numbers. Our nation is now $14.3 trillion in the red and getting $1.5 trillion redder every year. Montana’s addicting acceptance of 100 million dollars for its one million residents, would add 30 billion dollars annually to our national debt if this spending continued proportionally nationwide. It is not free money. Americans are so addicted to federal spending we refuse to see it is destroying us and this makes me bang my head on the table. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go for a run.
