I met my soon to be husband at the night rodeo, he was one of the real cowboys judging the rodeo, we danced at Cassies, fell in love soon after, married in October, and moved to a large ranch where he worked. We've been married 26 years.<br />Cody is only one of many many wonderful politically incorrect western towns!Beverlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-83286961216368822722010-08-06T21:46:43.047-06:002010-08-06T21:46:43.047-06:00The message of the "politically incorrect&quo...The message of the "politically incorrect" comments at the rodeo was clearly, "this is who we are out here in the West, we are proud of it, and we certainly don't apologize for it, so if you don't like it, please feel free to leave but don't try to change us!" It felt great to hear those jokes, knowing that the West still has plenty of fighting left!<br /><br />At one of the local breakfast places in Cody, all the waitresses/waiters were wearing shirts saying "If you can't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them!" They had purchased them from the DAV and the few they had left sold out in minutes. God bless the West and its values!Mrs. Bawbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-10762098981774918372010-08-06T21:12:27.863-06:002010-08-06T21:12:27.863-06:00Did the old guy still work at the Buffalo Bill Mus...Did the old guy still work at the Buffalo Bill Museum who yelled at me for riding up and down and up and down in the elevator?

Some things just get better with age, I guess. He doesn't, however, mention any political jokes, although I somehow imagine Republicans of the day would have substituted Eleanor Roosevelt for Nancy Pelosi, and the New Deal for the stimulus plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
