Reminds me of when my wife had her mare bred. The foal was one of a kind and could out run and out dodge the mare when he was 24 hours old. On his third day on Earth I looked out the window and told the wife the foal was in the yard. No big deal until I explained on this side of the fence. We slid open the second door on the barn which had a hinged 2x8 across it. The mare pressed against it and the foal got close but didn't want in. He kind of wanted mommy but liked being free. Several minutes of all 4 heads getting banged by that board and he finally got close enough that I put my shoulder to his butt and shoved him in while Sue lifted the board enough to let him under.

adventures have more to do with attitude than with location The writings of you and Rambi and others here attest to the fun of turning an ordinary event into an adventure .. except that in your case, your events start out extraordinary, giving you an unfair edge over the rest of us ... :) Wouldn't you love to have a home video of your cartop feet-against-the-cowl cow-calling ride? Great story. Your description of your uncle is reminiscent of stories I've read about LBJ (our former Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson) giving reporters a tour of his Texas ranch in his Lincoln Continental convertible, with one hand on the wheel and the other grasping a cold beer.
