On Friday I went to the world famous Mesquite Rodeo. It was a lot of fun watching the bulls and broncos, and especially them Yankee girls cry over the poor little calves when they fell down ;-) Since most of the group had never been to a rodeo before, I got to explain all the finer points of barrel racing and calf roping (not to mention play with my southern drawl). You can see pics here.

I went walking the other night and saw two armadillos, a toad, and a possum. I snuck up close enough to reach down and catch one of the armadillos but the only thing that I could think to do with it would be to release it in the dorm. I would have found it funny, but the armadillo (not to mention the dorm hostess) probably wouldn't have been as pleased.
