Deep In the Heart of Texas ~clap clap clap~
His name is *Stately Bovine* and he also lives at the Courthouse, right across the street from where Rach and I work. In fact, he watches us do the Khiva Shriner turning trick each morning. Each Texas is painted in burnt orange. Our County Judge is a University of Texas fan and I think that is how this steer's color got picked. His phone is even in orange...I kid you not!
Texas fans do like their burnt orange, don't they? One of our students did an internship at UT Austin last year and came back with all the requisite burnt orange apparel. What wouldn't have raised an eyebrow on The Drag in Austin, sure stood out up here in the snowbelt.
ReplyDeleteI love all the art cow that you post!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, Craftster's back up! Craftster's back up! Waaaahoooooo!
Don't mess with Texas!
ReplyDeleteWell, he ain't the purtiest one of the bunch, bless his burnt orange heart!
ReplyDeleteI heard a rumor that you can say...ahem...sort of...unkind words about others as long as you follow them with, "bless his/her heart." Like, "She really needs to lose some weight, bless her heart." Annie, did you just give us andn example of that?
ReplyDelete~LMAO~ You are right annie...it was like he was an afterthought. Like they needed one more cow so they flung some orange paint on him.
ReplyDeleteAnd Pattie...you are soooo funny!
Just a factoid that I think is vaguely interesting: Our County Judge is on the backside of 70. He was graduated from UT in the early 1950's. Guess what his degree is in?
ReplyDeleteComputer Science.
OMG Rach....I honestly did not know that.
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, Patti, I guess I did just give a rather fine example of saying something unkind and then trying to soften the blow with "bless his heart"!
ReplyDeleteBut there are rare examples where you can say something perfectly kind and then say "bless his/her heart...I just can't think of any at the moment!
