We grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. Paige was really good at breaking horses. But one day this horse took off up a hill, and then it came charging down the hill bucking. Paige was yelling at me, 'Help me. Get in front of it. Get in front of it.' I just stood there laughing until he got bucked off. He was so mad, he chased me around the ranch all day, but he never caught me. Now that he's here, I am so proud, and I know we'll help each other all the time.

I'm always cautious to downplay range fires, because if it's your ranch building or grazing allotment that got burned up it's pretty important. But timber fires require a lot more people, equipment, time and money to put out, and so far even when we've had lightning ignition, we didn't get the large fire initiation.

He was a little bit taken back by how passionate the fan base was here. You expect a guy that's played in New York to make a seamless transition to Boston. But it was tough on him.

I think he'll need to go to his ranch and get away and think about that, how to deal with the hermit lifestyle.

Rent is a real steal. It's one of the last spots to get rent along Lakewood Ranch Boulevard at a reasonable rate.

President Bush is the fittest president in history. They said it's because he spends a lot of time exercising. See a lot of our previous presidents wasted that time reading. .... A lot of people are every critical of President Bush for taking the entire month of August off for his vacation. But his staff points out, there's nothing at the White House he can't do at the ranch because the ranch is fully equipped. It's got the treadmill, the weight room, the jogging path, the big screen TV, they get Nickelodeon. It's got everything he would do.

My 'Big Bang Theory' costar Johnny Galecki went off the grid. He bought a huge ranch and goes there every weekend. He keeps telling me to do the same thing, but I don't know if I'm that committed. The Valley is as far off the grid as I'm going to go.

We're building a ranch plan based on a home we had previously done. We really liked this home plan, and when you build a house you are always thinking what if we did this or that differently.

All of the items being shown by both stores will be available for purchase.

We can't put the cost of serving the Boys Ranch on the shoulders of existing customers.

Each room is uniquely decorated and named after a person of great inspiration to George. There is a great stone fireplace were you can sit up late and drink and talk. But my favorite part of the whole Ranch has to be the atmosphere. Everyone you meet is happy to be there, and the views are amazing. The Ranch is possibly one of the most serene, beautiful places I've ever been to. Thousands of acres of rolling grass hills, forest, lakes and wildlife.

The world is recognizing you can't keep building 1950s-style ranch houses because we don't have the land anymore. I don't think San Jose is any different. As all cities mature and grapple with land becoming more scarce, there's still a desire to build housing in a community.

Given that it was one of the first jobs I ever wanted to have, it was pretty cool to get a chance to participate.

An angle people don't always think of, is the economic and environmental damage the reservoir is already doing. Landowners don't know whether to build barns, fences, houses that might be inundated, whether to plant trees that might never be harvested. So they're not maximizing the economic use of the land. They don't know whether they'll be able to leave their family ranch to their children, so their children must try and plan their lives with a huge uncertainty. Some people have already clear-cut land because they're afraid they won't get the value of their trees if their land is condemned.

All these alternative energy sources are unlikely to make a dent in the big picture. It's going to be many, many years into the future before we see any meaningful results. I don't think any real analysts or investors are betting the ranch on hydrogen.
