Stopped by Mountain Hearth and Patio to look at Primo barbecue and smoker units. Too expensive, Kate says. She’s probably right. We’ve got that solar contract and a kitchen remodel coming up.

But. We are gonna buy a quarter or a half of beef from Carmichael Cattle Company. Seems like a really great smoker/barbecuer would be just right. Ryan Carmichael has cattle off Shadow Mountain Drive, a few Herefords and one Angus. He says he has mountain lion and elk issues here, unlike his home in northwestern Missouri. The cattle make this former midwesterner glad.

New homes churn the economy, occasioning purchases of this and that. Spurs growth. All this civic duty.
