I've handled and managed a balanced budget in agriculture for 40 years, and that's very difficult. You don't know (what) the elements (will be), like the drought we're having right now.

Some of the guys actually slept in the clubhouse.

Most of us didn't know how to get to our homes.

Until tonight we have been in every game. I think we just need some breaks to go our way. When we find ourselves we're going to be a good team.

The people we have in charge of the (county's) Road and Bridge Department are doing an outstanding job. But I remember when commissioners used to go out and drive through their county roads, instead of waiting on a disgruntled resident to call in and complain. That hasn't happened in Precinct 2 in many, many years.

A friend once told me for every problem there are 10 solutions. It's just a matter of choosing the best one.
