Vanishing Act

"I was feeling real good and real manly. Until a real cowboy walked by and told me I had my hat on backwards. So much for my career as a cowboy." ~ Michael Biehn

"Hey, you in the cowboy hat!" shouts the barker, and one hundred people glance over. We are at the Calgary Stampede for the final day of its 100th year. The sky is overcast and it finally does manage to rain, in fact pour, at times, especially while we are outside watching the PowWoW, and dance and drumming competitions. We got pretty soaked. Cowboy hats, even when worn properly, provide a great little funnel for the rain to pour down your back.

We managed to take in a number of the festivities, including an act called Recycled Percussion which fell short of winning America's Got Talent awhile back. They have a show in Vegas apparently. They were hot and action-packed. While filming a portion of their show, my memory card crashed, taking all my photos with it. Drat! No photo post today.

Peace,
