The Stampede started today and will go on for the next 10 days.  Don't
think I'll go to the rodeo this year, but I'll probably hit the Stock
Dog trials (those herding dogs are incredible - when my Australian
Shepherd gets older I may give it a try myself).

Stampede week added bonus: even white collar workers get to wear jeans
and cowboy boots to work.  (Which Andy has those green boots?)
