Baxter Black: COWBOY PAMPERS
It is not uncommon to see real cowboys in the communities where cattle are part of the economy. I don’t mean posing in the street like gunfighters in Tombstone, or passing out casino flyers on a corner in Las Vegas during rodeo week, but in the middle school parking lot picking up their kids, in the latte drive-up, or at the lumber store. One lady told of seeing two authentic-looking cowboys strolling up the aisle at Safeway. She described them as wearing ‘dusty jeans, ten gallon hats, and well-worn boots with jangling spurs.’ “What could they be buying in here?” she wondered…,”probably beer and tobacco.”
