<<hats and tight jeans...on guys. LOL>> Bet you liked all the young guys in tight jeans. No saggy butts there. <<I left after the first event (bareback bucking bronco riding) or what ever they call it. >> So sad. They have bareback and then saddle bronk riding. Ladies barrel racing is pretty exciting....... but the BULLS. Damn, you can see what a person can live through. I remember watching Bodacious, he had a move that no one got off awake. Local rodeo had a lot of tuff guys limping for weeks. I rode a bull called Herman in South Dakota. I fed him corn and he liked me. He grazed and I rode but he was so damned wide I had to be a whoos and go side saddle so as not to stretch the goodies.

There is very little to do in Dallas when people come to visit besides see the Grassy Knoll, especially after they had to stop using the mechanical bull at BillyBob's. I think there were too many injuries or something. (Remember Debra Winger in Urban Cowboy?) I confess I've never been to Billy Bob's. Anyway, we usually take guests to the Mesquite rodeo for a taste of Texas. Being Dallas, the cowboy element is with us in everyday life. Southlake was horse and farm country before the yuppies raped it. On our road, a mile down, there is the little Southlake Tack and Feed store, and just beyond it is Pat Summerall's non-assuming cottage. (It's called Amazing Grace- and it is amazing) The tight jeans, boots, and cowboy hats are normal attire around here. But at the rodeo, somehow the jeans are newer and tighter, the shirts more flamboyant, the hats bigger. And the belt buckles!! Have you noticed them? The last time we went, Achy, Breaky Heart got a bigger ovation than the National Anthem. And a rider got his hand caught in his rope and was tossed around really badly before they got him loose and they had to take him away on a board. I always cheer for the bulls.
