The National Western

So I attended the PBR bull riding at the National Western Stock Show a couple of days ago... First of all, the riders (and bull fighters that protect the riders) are pretty impressive in person. But I was far more struk by the crowd which seemed like a pretty good representation of middle America. Its has been a while since I've been so acutely aware that I am an East Coast Liberal. I felt as though the experience should have been fairly insightful, but as of yet I have not found the deeper meaning. Perhaps more on that later.
