It's been so cold here, like in the single digits. Today was snowy, overcast and just plumb cold.
Had to make a trip to the Walmart, I think I go there about every day, sometimes I'm in there several times in the same day.......most of the greeters know my name. I've lived here "most of my married" life, it's still a small town so of course I know a lot of people, some by name and some just by "familiarity".
So today, headed into Walmart, I see one of those sites you'd probably never see in your town. Tall, gangley "cowboy" type. Cowboy hat, tight jeans ( I still notice those things), leather vest, bandanna.....got the look going on......down to the spurs.....oh... come... on ...now..., it's below freezing, still spitting snow, miserable. Has he "really" been on a horse today????
I was relating this story to Pat and remembered back a few years ago, there I was sitting in the local Burger King, grabbing a bite to eat with a friend and "yep" I had spurs on.........got pretty tickled about the whole thing......but I had just come from a riding clinic and was on a lunch break.
And then there's the emails with the photos of people in Walmart and some of the "outfits" are so unreal, you wonder if it's been staged, but I've seen a few myself and my first question.....DO THESE PEOPLE NOT OWN A MIRROR???
I just can't bring myself to post the pictures or forward the emails. I did have a "naked cowboy" picture for a while, now hold your horses........it was not what you think.....it was only the "rear view". He was wearing a hat, had a saddle slung over his shoulder and had his boots on........my thought......so that's what's in those "wranglers"........
Lost the cowboy picture but someone sent me a "fly fisher", same view but with the vest and wader's on.........can't post that either. I kind of think my son Michael would have posed so such a photo. :-)
OK, so maybe I was just desperate for something to "blog" about today.
But, I bet you're all smilin' with me.

Yes, I'm smiling, I think I've seen the cowboy photo. LOL And I know I've seen the WalMart snaps, but I still have never seen anyone that looks as bad as some of those photos. I've wondered to, are they posed, but you must admit, some of them, if posed, should have thought twice before doing so, unless they were getting paid BIG bucks to do it. I just got a set yesterday called Set. no 3, and I do believe they are the worse ones I've seen so far.
