30 Things I'm Thankful For: Day 19

Farmers.

Ranchers (yes, that's my cousin, Scott)

Fisherpeople.

Them what catches or makes the food we are about to be thankfully gorging ourselves on.

It takes a special sort to stake your future on the vicissitudes of weather and market price.

Once I asked a rancher friend what he would do if he had a million dollars.  "Oh,"  he said, "I'd probably just keep ranching until it was gone.."
