Some Don’t Hear the Bells

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Fred’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Local Farm Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the “No Bell Piece Prize,” but they also awarded him the “Pulletsurprise” as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most  coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

Norman, Olkahoma Police Honor Pete Brownell for Contributions to Shooting Facility

Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells Inc. (left), receives a plaque of appreciation from Norman (Okla.) Police Chief Keith L. Humphrey on Tuesday at the Royce O. Whettle Norman Police Department Training Facility.

NORMAN, OK – In an era of ongoing budget cuts and reduced city revenues, local police departments and other agencies are often asked to do more and more with less and less. These budget shortfalls can result in a range of consequences, including a lack of adequate training opportunities. Through an infusion of resources from the private sector in the form of a generous donation from a firearms industry leader, the Norman Police Department and personnel from 20 different local, state and federal agencies will now benefit from enhanced targeting systems on the shooting range.

This spring, Pete Brownell, CEO of Brownells Inc., received word from Gary Giudice, president and founder of Norman-based Blue Heron Communications, that the shooting target systems at the Royce O. Whettle Norman Police Department Training Facility were in desperate need of an upgrade. Brownell responded in kind, working with Giudice to coordinate a donation of more than $30,000 in advanced targeting systems that will be utilized by SWAT Teams, snipers and other law enforcement officers.

The surprisingly complex prairie vole

ESA anniversary logoNature is surprising.  And the more you explore and learn about the critters around us and their habitats, the more amazing the world seems!

The prairie vole is inconspicuous, but leads a fascinating life.

prairie voleThe prairie vole is a small, mouse-like animal that is only about 5 inches long and can be found in prairies and old fields in the southwest corner of Michigan. They prefer thick, grassy vegetation where they create highways under the grass. These networks of “roads” protect them from predators, give them access to multiple living chambers, and allow them to travel around their home territory gathering seeds, acorns, fruit, grains, and forbs to eat. They will cache (or store) food in underground chambers that can hold up to 4 liters of food – that’s almost a gallon of food for a critter only 5 inches long! Read more
