Is this Texas or what?
Wayne, thought you might get a chuckle out of this picture I took at a gas station while we were in Texas. I think his truck threw a shoe. LOL

Yep, that looks like it was probably taken somewhere in West Texas, all right. LOL.
If there is one thing that Texas will never run short of, it's pickup trucks pulling horse trailers, and in the western part of the state, they belong to honest-to-goodness, full-time, working cowboys.
Here in the center of the state, we have a lot of $100,000 rigs runniing around, but they belong to rich dudes, and they've got cowboy-wanna-be written all over them.
Anytime you see an old, beat-up, broken-down rig with a horse or two in the trailer, actually wearing a well-worn, sweaty saddle, you can bet you're looking at a "real" cowboy.
Thanks for sharing that.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Usually, you can tell by the smell. His chaps, his shirt or jacket, and any part of his jeans that his chaps don't cover, will be pretty well smeared with manure, left over from treating sick calves all morning. His speech will probably be difficult to understand, due to the huge bulge in his cheek, caused by a wad of chewing tobacco that would choke a horse. His skin will be dark tan, and tough as leather, from working in the sun all day, every day.
His truck willl look as though it has never been washed, (both inside and out), and there probably won't be a fender on it, that resembles its original shape--one or two of them, may even be a different color. In wet weather, the manure on the floorboard in the cab will be at least an inch or two deep, and in dry weather, it will be replaced by an inch of dust.
And, when he's riding the pastures, looking for sick calves, as soon as he spots one, he and his horse will spring into action so quickly, that they will have that puppy on the ground before you even realize what's happening. He's good at his job, but it's a tough, dirty job, and I wouldn't want it. It's not nearly as romantic, as the writers portray it.
I've never been more than a part-time cowboy, 'cause I've never cared for chewing tobacco. LOL.
