So let’s talk some more about my trip out west. Had the exciting opportunity to attend a real live rodeo conducted by professional bull riders. Let’s see, where to begin….First of all, it’s a crash course in American patriotism. Warning to liberals, Rodeo’s could be dangerous to your politics. From the very get go, it’s all about apple pie, red white and blue, rugged individualism, rough riders, cattle, and talented horses. All this with country music playing as back drop, Alan Jackson, Alabama, Willie Nelson, and others. I was the only one in attendance of about 2000 spectators without my boots and cowboy hat. And I do mean the only one. The evening began with the polished announcer setting the stage for us to sing The Star Spangled Banner with the flag being wisp-ed around the arena by horse and rider no less, (and on a huge flat screen monitor as well). Sponsors were recognized on special banners (flags) held by cowgirls in white sequined pant suits galloping by on gorgeous cream colored horses. The bulls and horses bucked, the calves ran to only be wrestled to the dirt and tied up by human arm strength. Lot’s of testosterone in the air. It was a great family outing, I highly recommend it. Check out their website for the schedule. Buy a new pair of wranglers and have fun.
