Episode 105 – Happy Anniversary to the Jurassic Turf Blockade!…
Well, would you look at that… It’s been one whole year since Bully decided to make history by parking a Jurassic relic of farm equipment smack in my turf shed. At the time, I was fuming, the kind of fuming where even the dog knew to keep his distance. But today? I can only laugh…

Episode 103 – Three Passes, a Tractor, and a Dribble of Water…
An Evening with Bully… There are evenings when you pull into your own driveway and wonder if you’ve accidentally stumbled into someone else’s drama series. Last night was one of those. I heard it before I saw it, the growl of a tractor idling. A steady, low rumble that somehow manages to announce, chaos is…

Episode 102 – Sofa Watch 2025…
So, Saul decided to treat himself to a shiny new sofa. And as in typical Saul style, he didn’t just leave the old one out for the scrap man, he passed it on to me. A proper leather set too, with matching chairs. Honestly, it feels like I’ve gone from perching on a plank to…

Episode 101 – A Padlock, A Wheelbarrow, and a Test of Character…
Lincoln Would’ve Loved Faurel Hill… The other day I was reading a blog post at Bluejayblog. This quote hit me right between the eyes. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” -Abraham Lincoln Lincoln had it figured out.

Episode 98- Meter Men and Other Middle-Aged Power Fantasies…
Well well well… guess who was here again today? Yes. Himself. The Lord of the Faurel Hill. The High Priest of Poles and Wires. The man who reads a meter like it’s a sacred rite, and always, always, leaves the flap open just enough to say: “I was here.” Every single time. Only when I’m…

Episode 95 – Silence Speaks Volumes (and None of It Is Good)…
Silence – The Bully’s Favorite Weapon… You know what wrecks my head sometimes? When people think that silence makes them smart, powerful, or mysterious. Let me tell you something: it doesn’t make you clever. It makes you controlling, childish, and just a little bit pathetic. Take Bully and Fanny, for example. They love to go…

Is This What Healing Feels Like?…
I’ve noticed something lately. A quiet shift. I don’t write about Bully as much anymore. Not because I’ve suddenly forgiven or forgotten, and not because justice somehow found its way to my door. Nothing external has changed. But I have. A little. The Bully posts used to pour out of me like water from a…

Episode 90 -The Parish Lotto Power Play…
The Parish Lotto Power Play: Another Classic Bully Move… You know, it’s funny the things that stick in your mind when you look back over the years. It’s not always the big, dramatic blow-ups. Sometimes it’s the petty little moves, the sneaky, underhanded jabs that tell you more about a person’s character than a lifetime…

Episode 87 – Bully Watch…
Bully Watch… When They Don’t Talk to You… But Talk About You… Ever notice how some people don’t actually speak to you, but have plenty to say about you? There’s a certain breed of drama farmer who thrives on indirect communication. They won’t call, won’t text, won’t answer your emails, but suddenly your neighbor knows…
