    Read excerpt

    This week I interviewed Hannah Pace Baker. Hannah recently moved to Oregon with her horses and dogs and where she is working at a vineyard in the Willamette Valley.

Vineyard work is a pivot from her several years in the high deserts of eastern Nevada where she worked for many years cowboying. That's where we hear her Awe, Nice! recollection.

    Read excerpt

    This week, I interviewed Joe Lanier. Joe is a nearby farmer and rancher who I interviewed for a Washington Post piece I wrote about the drought . For Awe, Nice! Joe shared two great stories recounted from time spent hunting in the fall. Hard to believe hunting season starts up in just over a month. For bow hunters, the first week of September.
