and as a former employee and backyard neighbor (10miles away), I still like the cow company.

In honor of the Summer solstice, your strange thought for the day:

Me, grew up on a corn and cattle farm 15 miles outside sioux city iowa. Old man raised pure breed angus bulls.
Ted Wait: grew up on a corn and cattle farm 15 miles outside sioux city iowa. Old man raised pure breed angus bulls.

We actually met when we were kids. My old man sold his old man a bull and we ended up (literally) playing in the sand box while the folks did their thing.

I could set here and list over 300 parallels between my life and Ted's (including a brief stint with a pony tail). Our families are almost identicle. Our careers (up until that gateway thing - lol) were also very close.

I had a gf a few years ago who sat down and wrote out 250 things that were identicle about us and she finally gave up because she got tired of writing. It was almost spooky. When she got done, I reminded her of the biggest difference? Yearly incomes...
