<ppsst> Buddy, good work furthering the conspiracy to get city folk to choke down that stuff <wink>
Calf/lamb fries are quite good. Personally, I like them with cocktail sauce (no pun intended) like you put on seafood.

Sounds like our local bar.
If the owner is up at the grocery store, over in the post office, etc. and a customer walks in, you get your purchase out of the cooler yourself and either put the money on the counter before you leave or take your seat and square up when he gets back.
.... A fall cattle drive through town raises no eyebrows. Sorta like what happened yesterday here.
I posted this earlier in this thread:
We lived on a ranch 35 miles from town at the time, and I was coming home from the grocery store to find the neighbors moving cows down the highway.
They split for me so I could get through, but if I'd come up behind them, instead of in front, I would have been expected to pick up the drag.

I do too!
I have more pictures of cowboys, horses, working dogs, brandings, ropings, drives, etc, etc. than you can shake a stick at.
The pay stinks in this business, but the photo ops are limitless. lol
When you were excited about getting home mail delivery, then find out that "home delivery" turns out to mean that there's one pole down the street with a bunch of mailboxes on it. There's no post office in town anymore, so the upside is that at least the mail truck from the next town over comes to the pole down the street!
2. You looked forward to reading the police blotter.
3. You purposely drove to a different town to get your prescriptions filled.
4. Your social life in middle school consisted of standing around in random locations.
5. You didn’t have to tell your doctor your family history because he knew it firsthand.
6. If you had an overdue library book you got a personal phone call from the librarian.
7. There was only one good breakfast spot but before you could eat you had to greet everyone you knew.
8. You never paid for parking.
9. When you finally got your license, you spent all your gas driving around town.
8 out of 9 correct for me. #3 is not good for me because the owner of the local drug store would walk it over to your house at lunchtime. She used to say she was out walking for exercise anyway, she might as well save those who lived in town the trouble of getting into the store before they closed. For #5, my Dr filled me in on some wrong information I had on my family medical history because he is/was the Dr for 99% of my family in the area and knew who had what, back to my Grandparents. #8--- I haven't seen a parking meter in years.
