COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana.

Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

The End….Wrong Again California has it all The land it tremors and shakes Where doomsday people found it wrong It’s the land of big mistakes.

Some will lead and some will follow Some will shout in terror Prognosis, soon is dashed away Mathematic is the error.

Predictions come, predictions go Cash was blown away Bill boards hold enormous signs They are for judgment day.

Equations come, equations go Some factors, they are cursed He’ll spin them up for bingo, It’s October twenty first.

Scholars come and scholars go But scholars read the book There is a chapter and a verse[1] Hey, go and take a look.

So if he had a way to know It couldn’t come much straighter To bundle up a wad of cash, And put an ad in Tricia’s Trader.!

Preachers come and preachers go Some may cast some doubt They are entitled to be wrong Their message, it is out.

[1] Matthew 24:36

IS IT TIME YET? Refinancing, is it time yet? An oft quoted rule of thumb is that a borrower should consider refinancing if interest rates fall more than two percent below the original rate. This rule of thumb is really too simplistic to have much meaning. The question really involves comparing the after-tax savings in the monthly payment to the closing costs of the refinancing.

There are numerous costs in any mortgage financing. These costs may include loan origination fees, application fees, credit checks, appraisal fees, attorney fees, title insurance, transfer taxes and others. The lender may also charge discount “points” that amount to prepaid interest. These points can run 1% to 3% of the loan.

Points, unlike loan origination fees, are deductible as interest. However, the points that are paid upon acquisition of a home are deductible in a lump sum. Points on refinancing are deductible over the life of the new loan. The total closing costs on a refinancing can easily run 4% to 5% of the loan amount, although you may be able to get a break by careful shopping or dealing with your current lender.

To really compare apples to apples, you should compare the after-tax cost of the new mortgage with the old. Since mortgage interest is deductible, the after-tax cost of the loan equals the principal and interest payment after deducting the taxes saved attributable to the deduction. The computation is fairly simple in most cases. The number-crunching gets a little more complex if the change in mortgage interest deductions causes you to cross over into another bracket, but the theory is the same. State taxes should also be considered if your state allows a deduction for home mortgage interest.

For example, Tim originally borrowed $103,000 for 30 years at 9.5% four years ago to buy his home. Today he can refinance his home for 30 years at 5.5% at a total cost of 4% of the loan amount. Tim’s loan balance today is $99,982. He is in the 25% tax bracket. The cost to Tim to refinance is $3,999 (assume no deductible points). Tim decides to refinance a total of $103,981 ($99,982 + $3,999). His current monthly mortgage payment is about $866 of which about $792 is interest. That makes his after-tax payment about $668 [866 - (792 x 25%)]. His new mortgage payment will be about $590 of which roughly $477 will be interest, for an after-tax cost of $471. Tim will be saving, after tax, about $197 per month. At that rate, it will take about 20 months (3,999/197) before he breaks even. If Tim plans to stay in the house longer than that, then refinancing makes sense.

Of course, this brief article is no substitute for a careful consideration of all of the advantages and disadvantages of this matter in light of your unique personal circumstances. Before implementing any significant tax or financial planning strategy, contact your financial planner, attorney or tax advisor as appropriate.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

Have you been to visit us lately? www.Kimmel-Kreations.com

Where it all happens!

Planking

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. You may agree, you may disagree with Dr. Kerns’ Ramblings, but

you will always have something to discuss over dinner.

Montana’s 62nd legislative session is history and during my first week home I find myself reminiscing and sDanged if I know why, but the new fad of “planking” has gone viral. For those of you familiar with corral planks, bridge planks, and walking the plank, but confused by this booming fad, I will explain how this cyberspace game works: In creatively odd locations you rigidly lie face-down down with your arms pinned to your sides. Your buddy snaps your photo which you then post to social networking sites. That’s it. (Apparently, net surfers find “planking” digitally irresistible.) “Plankings” receiving the greatest viewership receives the grand prize of nothing at all and with such high stakes at risk, “plankers” are pushing the envelope of human ignorance. May 15th, Australian Acton Beale “planked” himself on the seventh floor balcony railing of the Brisbane Hotel and then 1.81 seconds later, “planked” himself on the sidewalk 105 feet below. He is forever 20 years old.

I heard the radio broadcast of Mr. Belae’s misfortune as I was racing between farm calls. Knowing the object of the game is to be creative, I rattled down the road looking for unique places where I might spot a “planker.” Balanced on the top of a fence post would certainly attract great cyber attention but it would require someone with abs and back muscles of steel. Then I remembered a time when I “planked” and it was long before it was a fad, but unfortunately it was never caught on film. Here is what happened.

It was a Thursday, June 15th, 1995 and I was on a farm call examining a lame bull. (I know this because I pulled the medical file to refresh my memory.) Bulls, just like state legislators, only work 60 days a year, so it is critical they be able to travel during their brief time on the payroll. While the patient was restrained in a squeeze chute, I scrubbed the mud and manure off his left rear leg and discovered a deep laceration under his dewclaw. The wound appeared to be several weeks old, was granulating nicely, but might be helped with an injection of a long-lasting antibiotic. I pumped 90ccs of LA-200 intramuscularly into six different locations on this bull’s massive neck—something the bull didn’t seem to particularly enjoy. Once the thrashing subsided, I tripped the headcatch and the bull jumped out of the chute.

In Disney movies, when the hero pulls a thorn from a lion’s paw to stop the throbbing pain, the happy lion becomes life-long friends with the hero. Such scenarios don’t exist in real life and this bull was on the fight. He spun around as he hit the ground and stared right at me. We both knew what was coming next as we each instantly calculated the distance between us, our relative sprinting speeds, and the paces to the nearest fence. Without bothering to check my math, I shot out from under the chute levers towards the fence. From the bellowing I could tell the bull was rapidly closing the gap. I was two steps from the fence when I felt the bull’s snot splashing off my backside. I feared if I stepped onto the bottom corral pole to vault the fence, the bull would crush my legs. With no other option and without missing a step, I dove headfirst over the top.

If I quit here, the story has a happy ending. Unfortunately, such was not the case. I had miscalculated either my ground speed, or my leaping ability and the arc of my flight dropped me square on my ribs, perfectly balanced on the top rail. I teetered there for a split second, when the snorting bull smacked my legs with his head and flipped me over the rest of the way…lucky me, only a couple cracked ribs.

If someone could have snapped a photo of me perfectly “planked” on top of that fence, and it had been 2011 instead of 1995, I could have posted it to social networking sites and won the fictitious grand “planking” prize of absolutely nothing. Now I told you this story so those of you who still socially network at the Mint Bar, or here in the pages of Tricia’s Trader, will know what is happening when you see sandal wearing Subaru drivers “planked” on an alfalfa windrow in front of your round baler.

Don’t worry, they are trying to draw cyber attention to themselves and will leave the area the minute they snap a couple photos.
