Another West Texas Moment...

I would not have believed it unless I saw it with my own two eyes. This afternoon, returning from a lunch meeting, I saw six horses "parked" (and I use the term loosely) in a Dairy Queen parking lot. (I-40 and Washington - not exactly a rural setting). No, there is not a hitching post at this particular establishment. Yet, there the horses stood, each in their own parking stall while their owners were presumably dining at the Dairy Queen. My traveling companion indicated that the horses were hobbled together. Now all we need is some tumbleweed on Polk Street, and a shoot-out at the saloon and the experience would be complete.
