Yee-haw! What better day to go to the St. Paul Rodeo than Independence Day? My family has done it three consecutive years now - so naturally, it is a tradition. My parents treated me and three of my "poor starving college student" friends to the afternoon rodeo show - so we were able to share our enthusiasm.My favorite events include: bull riding, cow milking, and wild horse chase. In the latter, grown men are being dragged around by these wild horses. They chase after them, try to put a saddle on and ride them through the gate. Not too successful, but pretty darn hilarious.
Watching the cowboys made me long for the days when I rode horses. They really are beautiful creatures. I would give anything right now to be able to saddle one up (western style, of course) and ride off into the wilderness. Just me and my horse. Extremely peaceful...
Oh, and I wouldn't mind a cowboy either.

Save a horse, ride a cowboy. I think that's the wrong phrase I'm looking for.
