Hi there Front, Della and Meryl,
yeah, I liked my short - and busy - Texan escapade, and true, I too believe Resistol stands for "you can't resist'em: you oughta get one".
Well, the Rodeo was really a great show, lasting almost 3 hours, this being the final of the ProRoeo 2006 Tour Championship, with all the trimmings and fanfare that go with it. The speakers detailed names and features of each rider, just as I was expecting after seeing BBM (at a point I was obviously expecting to listen "and here's Jack Twist, from Lightning Flat, Wyoming...", but this didn't materialize. Rodeo clowns - though no Jimbo - were there saving those who fell down bulls, as well as making silly jokes in between the different ridings, and all those who were there did really a great job of entertaining the public. Nice cowgals performed swift and elegant barrel racings, though I missed a bit Lureen's red hat.
Strangely enough the AA Center, were the rodeo was taking place, was only 2/3 full. Can it be that Texans are less interested in rodeos these days? BTW: do they drink coffee?
And once the rodeo was over, and prizes distributed, a great country concert performed by Neal McCoy took place: a perfect ending to an almost perfect Texan afternoon... It could only have been better if it was being shared with other fellow Bettermostians.
