Rouxb, hope that part of your anatomy feels better now.
I had a complete different experience today, but similar thoughts about it. When I went out to the backyard for the first smoke of the day, it was damn cold this morning. For the first time this fall. I sat on my stairs and thought about how hard life and work must have been for Ennis just because of the weather conditions.
Five minutes of freezing was enough to come to the conclusion there's nothing romantic at being a ranch hand.
