The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: 7/12/15 - 7/19/15
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2015_07_12_archive.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. Humble suggestions for new mascots for Benton. Earlier this month, Benton Mayor David Mattingly unveiled a new mascot for our fair city of Benton, Ark. The mascot, which cost $2,500 to produce, is simply named “Ben.” He is supposed to be a businessman who will be trotted out at various events and economic development opportunities (no, I’m not real sure what that means and I’m not sure that anyone else does, either). 8211; the names says it all.

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: Business is changing, so you should, too
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2014/01/business-is-changing-so-you-should-too.html
Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Business is changing, so you should, too. I well remember something changing in Arkansas a few years ago – a businessman wanting to stay competitive needed to learn how to reach out to the increasing Latino market. That was a dramatic shift in this state, but a larger one is shaping up now. Economies are now more global, so reaching out to markets in expanding areas such as India is as critical now as reaching the Latino family down the road was a couple of decades ago. Did I...

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: Trump for president? Why not?
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2015/07/trump-for-president-why-not.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Ever since Donald Trump announced that he was running for president, he's faced ridicule, predictions that the country will fall to pieces if he gets in office and all sorts of nonsense. Here's the thing - at this point, I figure about the only thing we can expect from the government is sheer entertainment. And, Trump is nothing if not entertaining. Am I voting for the man? You'd better believe it. Has The Hawg. Trump, then, might be a step up. Posted by The Natural State Hawg.

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: A little business
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2008/10/little-business.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. Actually, that's commonly pronounced "bidness" here in beautiful Arkansas. I started my own bidness last year, so now I am a bidnessman," someone might say. School was rough today," you might hear a child say. "Man, the other kids were really giving me the bidness! Enough of that. Every now and again, it's important to take care of a little housecleaning here at The Natural State Hawg. The Super Blogger Award! Theresa over at A Bumpy Path. Was handing out awards. By the way, The...

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: A little housekeeping...
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2008/10/little-housekeeping.html
Thursday, October 2, 2008. Yes, it's time for The Hawg to take care of a little business, so please bear with me. First of all, I've been granted Margie and Edna's Special Tea Award. If you haven't visited Margie and Edna's Basement yet, click right here. And head over there. I like those two ladies as their blog is always entertaining and they've always been nice to me. Besides, they refer to me as Mr. The Hawg. And I think that's funny. I like this particular award, too. Why? The Hawg cleans house.

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: Yeah, my netbook is still useful
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2014/01/yeah-my-netbook-is-still-useful.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. Yeah, my netbook is still useful. Back in 2009, my wife picked up a Compaq Mini 110c for me. While that 10.1” netbook with its low-power and underpowered Intel Atom CPU is about as trendy as a pet rock these days, I still use the thing like crazy. Most netbooks came with Windows XP or Windows 7 Starter. They both suck for netbooks because those underpowered netbooks simply struggle with Windows when it comes to handling complex tasks. Max out that RAM. My Compaq came standard ...

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: More proof that The Hawg is great
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-proof-that-hawg-is-great.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. More proof that The Hawg is great. I had this great idea for Father’s Day this year. My son is out of town visiting my wife’s family, but I figured I could still have a good time with my daughter and my wife on the holiday, right? I told them that it would be dandy fun if they took 30 minutes or so to simply tell me how great I am. Strangely, they refused to do that. Oh well. At least Windy over at Windmill on the Hill.

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: QuickPic and a bunch of shoes
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2014/01/quickpic-and-bunch-of-shoes.html
Thursday, January 23, 2014. QuickPic and a bunch of shoes. See that shoe over there to the right? I had about 19,000 copies of that hogging up 12GB of space on my HTC One. Considering the phone only has 32GB on board, that was a problem. Get QuickPic as such apps are sadly necessary when it comes to dealing with the quirks of Android. I’m glad the app is free as I’d hate to have to buy something to correct a problem that should never have happened in the first place. Damned if I don’t miss my iPhone.

The Natural State Hawg - ramblings from an Arkie: Special K Garbage Bars -- yet another reason to stay thin
http://naturalhawg.blogspot.com/2015/07/special-k-garbage-bars-yet-another.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Special K Garbage Bars - yet another reason to stay thin. I was a skinny kid back in my youth. I graduated high school at about 125 pounds and had managed to beef up to about 135 by the time I received my law degree a mere seven years later. And, here's another thing - kicking a 30-year-old smokeless tobacco habit leads to weight gain, too. How about the classic mix of egg shells and cobwebs? I've also learned that eating these things usually makes me good and angry. In fact, ...
