We had a White Buffalo born 10 miles down the road from me. I understood it to be one of only three known in History, then I saw this.  Wow how amazing.

Walden needs to be reminded that he should be 'speaking FOR us not TO us'…Ohhh, he's in Park City, Utah, for a 'fund-raiser'. Guess he just can't hear us there.

Red light! Cold outside. You look at the snow on the ground. Cold, hard, unforgiving snow. Then you see a man on the side of the road. You are wondering, what can I give this man? Frantically searching, you look for some change in your car. “Darn, I just got a muffin and used all of my change.” Green light. You smile because that’s all you can do. He smiles back at you. Thud, that experience just made you sad. You then feel a little selfish knowing that you have so much.

You wonder, is it a good idea to give change? But then you have a second thought, where is that change going? Is it going to drugs and alcohol or the right purposes? Because of this chance, you should always try to give the [less fortunate] food or stuff to keep them warm. And if you don't have any of these items, then a smile would lighten their day a little.

A city cannot expand and increase population for free. It takes money, vision, common sense and a will to look into the future beyond the “hood ornament.”  A successful business always sets aside money for maintenance and improvement to the business. How much did our former mayors participate in this process? The snake oil merchants of yore have “morphed” into a variety of “experts”—attorneys, car salesmen, developers, former mayors, and other self-serving sorts. The amazing thing is these folks storm into our city council meetings,saying this surface water project needs more study! This planning process has been going on for several years. Where have these “nay-sayers” been? Along the way I had concerns that if it were studied anymore we will slam into a federal deadline and our water delivery system would further deteriorate. Keep in mind, this is a cooperative effort to “save” money and install the pipeline and rebuild the road at the same time.

Thank you for recognizing the wonderful strengths of Depot. Living in Sisters, it is one of the best restaurants in town and brings the locals together for great food and fun. Next time, you will need to try their mouth watering deep fried brussels sprouts with aioli dipping sauce.

We consistently leave satisfied in every way!!
