Scrambled Wisdom is the third in a series of quirky, quick-witted, quotable books written by Baxter Black. Another clever collection of cowboy humor, illustrated this year by Charlie Marsh and Etienne "A-10" Etcheverry!
Scrambled Wisdom is like a missing puzzle piece you lost, and one day, find again...it fits right in the trilogy of 'Cave Wall Graffiti from a Neanderthal Cowboy' and 'The World According to Baxter Black, Quips, Quirks and Quotes'. It's filled with topics like, Hunting the Wiley Hog, Fowl Flay, Veterinarial Injuries, and Carpooling the Cowboy Way.
If you have the other two books, you definitely need this one...if you don't have the other two, you definitely need all three!

Baxter Black has spent his life serving the people who make their living 'off the land', from the littlest shepherd to the most prestigious seed soil scientist. They are part of his world. From shoeing a horse, riding' pens, pulling calves, riding bulls, shearing ewes, rotating pastures, diagnosing disease, explaining physiology, making you laugh and, most of all, helping you feel proud of what we do...feed the world. Of course, the 'cowboy' in his stories are always the butt of the joke. After all, it's the truth in humor that makes it funny...that's why there are no science fiction jokes.
First there was Solomon, then Plato, then Aristotle. Now Baxter Black takes his place with the world's great philosophers as he offers his book, 'Scrambled Wisdom, Almost isn't is...is it'. It is sort of a 'Book of Cowboy Proverbs', a must read for every cowboy and anyone who wants to raise their understanding of the deep secrets of cowboy life. It is guaranteed to impress (or at least turn heads) when one of the pearls of wisdom found in this book, such as, "If life gives you llamas make llamamade," is injected into the conversation at the appropriate moment. A person could raise his or her credibility by 5 or 6 points by simply having the book prominently displayed around the house or office. --Terry Slaton, DVM, Alabama
I got Baxter Black's book, 'Scrambled Wisdom, Almost isn't is...is it' and soooo wanted to gobble up every page as fast as I could but I know from past experiences to take my time and savor each page. I was not disappointed as page 36--HAHAHA. Page 18-HAHAHA. Page 70--EWE! Oh for goodness sake, each page is one to go back to and read out loud to any one or any animal that has ears to listen! --Trina Machacek, Author
In my humble opinion, Baxter Black's book, 'Scrambled Wisdom, Almost isn't is...is it',is weird with some good "take home" messages. Best of all, it is chaotic to the core and I love it. --Kenneth Eng, Ph.D., Animal Nutrition, Rancher
