Oh the glories of the western life.. as kids in new york we were raised on a 200 acre farm with the afore mentioned tv (rabbit ears also and snow on the screen). Hard work horses to ride beef cattle to work etc., and 2 tv shows per week( Rawhide as one),unless John Wayne was on. My younger brother .. who I think was born with his cowboy hat on..,headed west to Winnet, Montana in the late 70's worked on a ranch married a girl from out there. After 15 years of no money hard work a heartbreaking (for him) divorce and a life threatening injury or 2 he came back to new york 20 years ago now my beloved brother passed on cut badly out on the range dehorning calves and required a blood transfusion.. no blood screening at the time the tainted blood managed to work on shutting down his organs He loved Montana and the cowboying fantasy until the end .
