the annual stock show and rodeo is back in town and thus is the accompanying carnival. lots or horses, livestock, bafflingly large pick-ups, and dudes in cowboy boots strutting around.

in our apartment, if the window is open, i can hear all of their screams.

i was supposed to go on a bike ride with Michael this morning but on account of sleeping like shit last night (big surprise) and generally feeling a little low this morning, that was out. did manage to walk over across the street to get some pictures of the rides and the subsequent mayhem. i don't do well with this all.

EDIT: also learning today on account of all the UK snow: what you call "sledging," i (and the rest of the US) calls: "sledding." i love this stuff.
