This morning driving to work, I heard
Baxter Black (cowboy/poet/philosopher/large animal ex-veterinarian)
talking about cows on NPR's Morning Edition. It might seem unusual for me to say this, but if you get a chance to hear some of his work or read one of his books, you should check it out. Often hilarious.
P.S. I once rode a
horse named (!) Baxter Black black horse named (!) Baxter near Santa Barbara.
("Like Baxter Black?" I asked. "Ayup," said the cowboy.)P.P.S. I once met (!) Baxter Black.
P.P.P.S. I know that a bunch of terrible stuff happened over the last few days, but since I'm coming off a nice four day weekend spent with my family, I'm pretending I haven't heard about any of it.
