watch out they spit.

In your rush to do this and that do you ever pass something or see something that causes you to do a double take? Or come across something fairly normal but so out of place you are compelled to stand in wonder of how it was there? Like seeing a pair of shoes hung from a telephone wire. Growing up I always admired someone’s total lack of anything better to do than throw an old pair of tennis shoes to a telephone line. Someday I hope to dispose of an old pair of sneakers in such a manor. Anyways. I was rushing to my third job at the tanning salon (AKA ‘The Bakery’) when I noticed a lady walking down the street. Now keep in mind here in Wisconsin we have an over abundance of certain things. We have lots of beer, lots of cheese, lots of Polacks, lots of brats, and very stereotypically, lots of cows. Now you’d think in a state with more cows than people it would seem pretty normal to see someone walking down the side of the road with their llama. Take it from me, that sight really catches one off guard. If I wasn’t late for work I would have stopped and asked her what she was doing. What set of circumstances causes one to walk their llama down the street? What set of circumstances causes one to own a llama? Of what value is a llama other than a logo for either a cheep fur company or a glue bottler? Are llamas the latest trend in the farming community? Are llama farmers considered the black sheep (pardon the pun) in the cattle industry? Instead of a ten gallon hat and the title of cowboy, do llamaboy’s wear face shields given the spitting ability of their stock? What are llamas’s good for anyways? Are they the latest ‘Green’ alternative to cow milk? Are they the new answer to the ever growing threat of Mad Cow Disease?

Just in passing I think that llama wranglers should come with a big sign one their back that say’s, “I’m too good for cows!”
