The state of Arizona is right to end Daylight Savings Time

I don't care about the daylight savings technicality... why we do it. I'm pretty sure the state of Arizona ended it. ... I just don't understand why farmers need to have us bent over a barrel for them. I'm sick of it. Agreed. It's very depressing.

The PIN to my ATM card has completely vanished from my brain after 15 years

I went to the ATM on Tuesday and went to punch in my pin, four-digit pin. I've had the same pin for probably 15 years. Fellas, it's just not in my brain anymore... There is no pin. I sat there. I typed in five different pins... Mrs. Cat doesn't know the pin? No pin.

He claimed he forgot it; unless he later recalled it, the claim of it vanishing is true to his experience.

Bucking bulls are getting tougher and bred to buck harder

Bulls are getting tougher. It's just like the horse racing industry. They bred faster horses. They're breeding bulls to buck harder. And that's where we're finding a lack in actually getting more bull riders into the sport.
