western-onbull

That’s me on the bull, the photo on the right. Notice how the bull is leaning his head into my leg? Usually a bull tries to get the rider off of his back, but this guy wanted me to stick around awhile. He was looking into the camera, but then when I started scratching his neck he sandwiched my leg underneath his head and he wouldn’t let go. I think he liked me.

western-sheriff

Before I went to the rodeo, there was a parade and a “shoot-out” in the middle of Main Street. Of course the sheriff (on the left, that’s me on the right) made sure that the “good guys” won.
