M...The pie was yummy Pam. :-) Great word veri. LOL<br /><br />My daughter rides English but has done some western style including barrels. Her and a friend are quite into it and her friend declared that her husband had better be competent in two rodeo events, one of which is bull riding. LOL Ah kids. They'll probably both end up with city boys who are afraid of horse poop.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-42800318234338804632011-08-03T23:48:15.601-04:002011-08-03T23:48:15.601-04:00Well, if no one made the raspberry pie, there woul...Well, if no one made the raspberry pie, there would be no pie to eat, and that would be sad beyond words.<br /><br />I grew up in rodeo country, so not only did some of my friends get educated on rodeo scholarships, we'd go to the college nationals every few years because it was just up the street.<br /><br />Word verification:waingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-89829343872750687982011-08-03T20:43:00.911-04:002011-08-03T20:43:00.911-04:00Well, at least you aren't implying I have a th...Well, at least you aren't implying I have a thing for cows Kris. :-P<br /><br />They ALL had baggy jeans Eyre.

Sigh. Today is making raspberry pie. I did finish off some yaoi I want to mail from the US since it's cheaper. But not much reading. Probably next week in Chicago more as my friend has to leave on business so in the evenings we'll have the house to ourselves for a few days.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-41431107110915135142011-08-03T15:04:55.867-04:002011-08-03T15:04:55.867-04:00So, you should be getting lots of reading done, ri...So, you should be getting lots of reading done, right? :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-23012362969825256152011-08-03T13:37:14.810-04:002011-08-03T13:37:14.810-04:00Thanks Val.

It is very different, I'm sure some of the schools in the South West have rodeo teams. <br /><br />I think there are pretty strict rules now KZ about caring for the stock and for most of them the bucking is natural and they hate that band around their butt. So more of an annoyance than anything painful. Maybe I just choose to believe. :-) Bull fighting however is something I detest.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-27981588099802857592011-08-03T13:02:20.344-04:002011-08-03T13:02:20.344-04:00Wow, that street scene looks a lot like the town n...Wow, that street scene looks a lot like the town nearest to me!<br /><br />I HATE rodeos. All I can think of is what's done to those horses and steers to get them to buck. It's very cruel. <br /><br />Now, if the same thing were done to the riders, it would at least be more fair.K. Z.

Glad you're enjoying your trip, and that you had the foresight to keep the small town visit short so you could get on to Chicago. <br /><br />And a rodeo scholarship? Had never heard of that.
