Cowboy Wisdom

Ok Folks I think we have all had enough about snakes for now. My main purpose in posting these articles was to show that everything in this world has a place and even if we don't like some things we should respect them. "A snake in your yard is a lot better than mice in your pantry".

I used to have a boss that grew up on a sheep ranch, she could entertain people for hours with her cowboy quotes and wisdom. I like this list of cowboy wisdom someone sent me a few years ago. As you read them take time to really think about each quote, they are deep with thought and meaning as well as humor.

Enjoy

Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was.
