Sorry to hear about his passing, he is most likely the best known rodeo star of all times. He definitley set the bar high for others to challenge. The old cowboys like Shoulders, Casey Tibbs are what legends are made of. Of course, we do have Fred Whitfield and Joe Beaver during this era that have also set their share of recors. Why don't they have any rodeo events that feaures bucking mules?

Are you in Beaver, Utah tonight? How many strings did you have to pull to get a truck out of Salt Lake City, now isn't that a convienient place to park you pick-up while you are on the road, just a few short miles from Beaver. Since you spend so much time there, surely there is a sign or something you could steal commenorating Butch Cassidy and send it to the HITW. That is your assigned task!

Talking Ranger is in Snohomish, WA tonight (7/3)waiting to unload a van load of Messicans so they can pick cherries. We are going to hold him to his promise of having a sign from Butch Cassidy's hometown.
