Holy Cow!!

Well, it was an exciting night in Silverton. We were attempting to watch the 3rd and final (thank god) presidential debate tonight when, all of the sudden, we were set upon by bovine madness. We walked outside onto our front porch and what did we see? That's right.....a cow...walking down the middle of the street...with a policeman following it on foot. The cow was large and must have been attempting a brave escape from an undeniably bleak future as a pallet of O'berto jerky...on sale at Costco. Sophia walked out onto the porch, "Look Mommy! Look Daddy! A cow in the street!"

We watched the cow meander down the street, zig-zagging from one side of the road to the other, all the way down the block and to the right, onto Pioneer Avenue, to Grammy's house.

We called Grammy and gave her the heads-up.

There is something comforting, quaint, surreal, and authentic about living in a place where you can walk outside at dusk, in your subdivision, and see a cow parade. Cheers to you all - Steers for us.
