Rodeo

I have been waking up every day at 3:30 am. I go back to sleep until about 9 but its annoying, and making me more tired than I should be considering I am going to bed relatively early. This morning the neighbor guy brought me a bone for Kostya and told me he is going to be gone all week, so don't worry that his car is gone. Okay. He said he would never remember Kostya's name, so he is going to call him Dog. Sure. Whatever. I call him dog dog and mutt mutt. Sometimes idiot and dummy.

I went to the fair/rodeo tonight. Their fair has NOTHING on Iowa fairs. But I took some pictures anyway. I would, however just like to say, that every single 4-H project had something to do with weapons, hunting or something like that. I love rodeos. I always wanted to barrel race when I was a kid. I also really like the fact that the horse is about 80% of the team. The horse knows when and where to turn, how much to pull, when to put slack in the rope, and needs to anticipate the moves the cow is going to make. All without communicating verbally. Football, soccer, all have nothing on equestrian sports. Oh, that super awesome gun picture, is from the Dollar store. Only in cattle country would they put semi-realistic looking toy guns on a shelf. Here, have some pictures. :)
