ride'em cowboy

 

 

Many firefighters have a "second job."  This cowboy had firefighting as his second job.  Now retired, he runs cattle and rides in parades (and his mother was my third grade teacher).  There was a reason the Shallowater Harvest Festival put the horses and sheriff's posse at the end of the parade.  Wouldn't want to mistake horse patties for peanut patties!
