Cowboys

The different types of Cowboys.

1. The true cowboy

Earns his living on horse back whether it be in a rodeo arena or the open range. Your ridem, ropem and brandem kind of man.

2. The regular cowboy

Is the type of guy that rides on a regular(often daily) basis but doesn't necessarily earn his living in the saddle.

3. The part time cowboy

Is the type that may not even own a horse but yet his back side has seen plenty of saddle time.

4. The fashion cowboy

Doesn't have a clue as to witch side you mount and dismount a horse from, hasn't got the slightest clue as to what it feels like to be saddle sore, and thinks that putting on a pair of boots and a hat makes him a cowboy. He is totally shocked to find out that true bare backing really means to ride a horse with out a saddle and has nothing to do with sex.

At this point in my life I am a part time cowboy, tho raised in the ranching/farming areas of the mid west. As a child I was taught to ride by my cousin, she believed that to be the best rider you can be is to learn to ride with nothing more than a halter and lead rope and to mount your horse with out the use of fences or other items to get on. I learned to ride a horse that was 17 hands, for those that don't know what that means, its a system of measuring the height of a horse at the withers, 17 hands is on the definitely on the tall side. I own several pairs of boots and wear them regularly because they are comfortable not because they or fashionable.

Thanks to Ray's Cowboy(see blog list) for this video.

Are You?????

Even tho I am a registered Democrat, I'll go Republican all the way on this one.



Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southerner?

'I vote for the man, not the party. Here is a little test that will help you decide:

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question...

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

What does the law say about this situation?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway,and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

Two more nails

Two more nails in the McCain/Palin campaign coffin.

TCB watched SNL last night just to see Palin and said that in his mind it was very damaging to Palin's political career. He watched Colin Powell on one if the Sunday morning news programs (I caught the last few minutes of it). Powell, a Republican, came out in support of Obama, his words were very well thought out and respectful of both candidates. I agree with the political annalist that followed that the announcement from Powell will sway the senior/retired military vote to Obama.

Here is a link to a report on her performance from Taipie Times

On a side note. If Powell were to run for president, at this point I think I would seriously think about voting for him.
