The National Collegiate Rodeo Finals are back in town this week. One can always tell due to a substantial increase in horse trailer traffic and more people are attired in stetsons and boots-the real cowboys, pseudos, and wannabes begin to look somewhat alike. The big controversy was whether the smokeless tobacco companies would advertise and give out free samples at the Events Center as they have done in the past. It was decided: no advertising and no free samples. What nobody talks about is the number of college rodeo contestants will be arrested for underage drinking at the Beacon Club, a favorite cowperson hangout.
Murphy's Law applied to washing the car: I had planned to multitask by going to the bank and then a nearby carwash. As I backed out of the garage, it started sprinkling-no problem. As I got closer to the bank, it was actually raining and I had to use the wipers-should be short and the streets aren't too wet. I leave the bank and it is still sprinkling hard enough that I don't want to vacuum the car while it is sprinkling so I head for home. Pull in the garage, it quits raining, and the sun comes out. Maybe tomorrow.
