Overheard story in Montana bar: She thought when she lost
her teeth we'd divorce and she cried a lot; so I said
to her we won't divorce but we'll marry someone else. The vaunted
simplicity of cowboys who are really cossacks - the horse
rhythms obviously affecting the brain chemistry. A slavic tribe
with ambivalent affection for guns & ewes, mares & drudgery.
