Rodeo etc

Oh well, the localrag said the Rodeo Sundaty started at 7:00 and a checker at the store said 9:00 so we grabbed the gear and headed over about 9:30 to an empty arena. It starts at 2:00, and now that we are in monsoon season it is likely to be muddy. Why why why?

We watched probably the best western ever made, me for about the 30th time, last night. "Once Upon a Time in the West" with Henry "Frank" Fonda playing the most despicable character in his career, capable of shooting a young boy and kicking the crutches away from a cripple, causing him to fall. Charles "Harmonica" Bronson seeks revenge on Frank, and Jason "Cheyenne" Robards plays a gunfighter. Rounding out the cast in Claudia "Jill" Cardinale. If you are into serious photography, besides the story this movie is an artistic gem. Most of the movie was filmed in Monument Valley. Many scenes look like rear screen projection but they are not!
