Well, we went to the Rodeo and concert last night and had a fun & interesting time. When we got there we hadn't had dinner so we decided to try some Fair food. We went and surveyed all the vendors to see what looked the best. Cliff wanted a Brat & grilled onions so we found the yummy looking one and paid $18.00 for two Brats and 1 coke. After the first bite I about gagged. They were cold and tasted like sawdust, the bread was heavy and gummy. Yuck. So we threw them in the trash and went to the Rodeo laughing.
Our Rodeo tickets were great, we were at the top of the arena stands but the arena is so small that they were really great seats, right in front of the bucking shuts, plus we had something to lean up against. It was windy and as soon as the sun started to go down we about froze to death. Especially Cliff as he just had on a short sleeve tee-shirt. I had worn a denim jacket and I was still cold. We finally left during the team roping and went to the car and got his sweatshirt and sat for a minute with the heater on to warm up. Now this is mid April in So Nevada, what's up with that. Anyway we went back and enjoyed the rest of the rodeo and I DO love rodeo of any shape or description and this was a pretty good one. There was 4 world champions there and the rough stock was really good so we had fun. I was surprised that people don't seem to have as much fun as they use to. We always whopped and hollered but not so much anymore. Come on America it's rodeo kick it up a notch. Plus all the cowboys were fat and had on their stretch Wranglers, yee Gads, glad my Man can still sport his 13MWZ's 31X36 (now that's a "long tall drink of cool water")
After the rodeo we got a nice hot cup of coffee and went to the concert. Heidi Newfield is really good and just the right balance of sassy, cutie, hot rocker, and can sing her ass off. Lee Brice opened for her and did a funny song called " Upper Middle Class White Trash/ My pockets can't hold all my cash/one day I stopped to pee/got some gas and won the lottery" The music was great but once again the PEOPLE were lame. I mean this technology thing sucks. All around us were these 20 something kids and NO one was even listening to the music. They were all so busy taking pictures of themselves (what the hell is up with that) or pictures of each other or texting that they never even looked at the stage. I mean we are raising a bunch of narcissistic freaks in this country. Cliff and I decided we are definitely getting old as we still think when you pay $50.00 for a concert ticket you should actually maybe watch the concert!!!. It was funny though there was this really really fat guy in front of us, I mean about 6'4' and maybe 400 lbs with a little bitty cowboy hat perched on his fat head. He was drunk and even though he had to have 2 chairs to sit on he was still bobbing and weaving sideways so as if it wasn't hard enough to see around his fatness that made it impossible. I told Cliff "It's like being at the base of the Colorado western slope and trying to see around the mountains to get a glimpse of Denver" HA HA now that's funny I don't care who ya are!!!! SO anyway, blah, blah, blah came home, I made bacon and eggs, pigged out, got in our warm bed, and light's out.
