And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Rodeo rocks! Man against animal and more often than not, the animal wins. A bit violent at times maybe, but a noble sport nonetheless! Thanks for a great photo, CW!
Look at that horse. That's no lady's palfrey. It's a well-muscled war horse. The horses and steers these cowboys try to ride have their own rankings, and this cowboy drew the superstar top dog first seed bronco. It takes a large amount of courage and bravado to strap onto these animals, you have to be a 20-year old invincible. I hope that cowboy knows how to hit the ground like an Airborne soldier.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like he's already thinking about how he's going to 'stick' the landing, doesn't it?
