Surprise re New Neighbor!


Today I spent the latter part of the afternoon talking with my new neighbor/friend and discovered to my surprise that he was a professional BULLRIDER!!! What an interesting conversation as he related to me the inside scoop about bullriding. His last ride was upon BACKSTABBER, a ferocious bull with a 'reputation'. A bullrider seeks to stay on his bull for 8 seconds. Stephen lasted 6 second before the bull reared his head and butted Stephen in the face, resulting in breaking every bone in his face to the extent that his face was sagging off his head! He survived, obviously, but it was his last ride (at the insistence of his wife, of course.)
