The Other Place takes the old location of "Monti's At The Ranch" right next to the Dobson Ranch Inn -- And it's decor fits this resort location perfectly. We actually didn't know where to go for dinner, so we drove here to see what now occupies this space. It was a little different, higher-end, than we were looking for, but we saw the pool tables and decided that we needed to stay.

Just before the weather starts to get too cold in the mountains, I'm planning a camping trip for this weekend. A quick check of the forecast shows the area to be sunny and cool (high of 90, low of 60). But the big deal here is who I'm going with. You're never gonna guess. And if you frequent this column, you're never going to believe it when you find out.

A farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file for a divorce.

The attorney asked, "May I help you?"
The farmer said, "Yeah, I want to get one of those 'dayvorces.'"
The attorney said, "Well do you have any grounds?"
The farmer said, "Yeah, I got about 140 acres."
The attorney said, "No, you don't understand, do you have a case?"
The farmer said, "No, I don't have a Case, but I have a John Deere."
The attorney said, "No you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yeah I got a grudge, that's where I park my John Deere."
The attorney said, "No sir, I mean do you have a suit?"
The farmer said, "Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
The exasperated attorney said, "Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
The farmer said, "No sir, we both get up about 4:30."
Finally, the attorney says, "Okay, let me put it this way. WHY DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?"
And the farmer says, "Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her."
