I’m working at Starbucks and it’s a gray, slightly melancholy day, and Got My Sunshine by Mojave 3 is on. It instantly took me back to the days I worked behind the counter at Starbucks and I played Excuses for Travelers on repeat - not at Starbucks, but in the rest of my life. How I loved that album and I know it’s not a novel thing to say- but it so well reflected my state of mind then. And this morning it reminded me.
So! It’s the weekend and what does that mean for me these days? Rodeo time!
This might be the best image from last night. This is a family of horse riders who perform tricks in between the competitions and usually that small boy rides two horses - AT ONE TIME! His other worldly look of determination and the other two horse stunt looked like they’d fit well in Twin Peaks.
At first I thought he was a tiny man, but he is a child. Here he is waiting and contemplating.
And in the arena.
