I raked and bagged leaves again this afternoon. It was a gloriously beautiful day with sunshine galore. I worked outdoors in just a T-shirt and jeans and got too warm in that much.
Raking leaves gives me a sense of accomplishment. I put seven bags out at the curb plus the three yard waste containers I put out last week and I put out two more this week. There are still quite a few leaves in back and still many left on the trees, so hubby has vowed to attack them this week. We'll see. He's not a big fan of yard work.
After I had done as much as I wanted to do outside, I took a drive to run a few errands. On the way home, I had just cruised past the park and was speeding up because the limit changes from 25 mph to 35 mph there. Just as I got up to speed, I noticed a couple of half-grown cows ambling out of a front yard on the right.
Now this isn't something you see every day here, but it's not wildly unusual either. But I just knew these cows (one was red and one was black) were up to no good. They just had that look on their faces that said, "We're lookin' for trouble and we won't stop until we find some." They were even hopping and jumping a bit, like they were so excited to be out and about on their own.
So I slowed down, just like I have the last few mornings on the way to work when I've seen the mule deer up on the hillside above the road. And then those darn cows just stopped in the middle of the street and stood there looking around. So I stopped as well. I actually got out my phone and was looking for the non-emergency police number, which I have stored, because I thought this might cause some problems. But then they decided to amble off the road and into someone else's front yard. And at that point, I thought, "Well, now they're someone else's problem."
The police here are used to calls like that because we hear a lot of "cattle on the loose" calls on the scanner. Maybe someone else called them after I passed by.
Interestingly, we have open range here, so if I'd hit one of the cows, it would have been my fault and I would have had to pay for the cow. Good thing I'm an alert driver.
Speaking of blocking the road, the other night there was a gigantic tumbleweed in the middle of the road. This sucker was so big, it was going to take a major wind to blow it off the road and no one wanted to run over it, so we were all swerving to either side around it. I wish I'd gotten a photo.

I really would like an answer to this, so please if you can give me one, comment away. Why do people who say they absolutely hate Bonanza World and who rip on it every chance they get, continue to register as a member?
I get that some people hate it. For whatever reason, they just can't stand the place and don't want to have anything to do with it. And really, that's fine because that just means everyone is different and people like different Websites for different reasons. Makes perfect sense.
Except apparently some folks who say they want nothing to do with it, actually do, because they continue to visit over and over (sometimes daily) and they continue to register new usernames.
I guess I don't understand because if I don't like a site, I just don't go there. It's easy enough. I dunno.
