My windows must be a bit fogged after last week’s column about the Meeker School District, but why on earth would one want to make their living in the agriculture field—as either a farmer or a rancher. Both of those seem like such a lot of hard work…

From My Window: A busy week looking out the window in all directions

From My Window… Two years happily at home in Meeker; Congrats to T.J.
At the end of this week, I will have lived in Rio Blanco for two years exactly.

From My Window: Meeker’s old IOOF Lodge also on National Register; the poker is missing
