Then in the dark step in a hole in the ground, fall, get the wind knocked out of you to the extent you can't get up because the toxic liquid isn't allowing any sense of body, legs, balance to function and about an hour later in the cold of the fall night. The cowboys came out looking for me with a candle lamp for fear I'd fallen in one of the holes? Or I had fallen in the rather large creek flowing by the round-up camp. They did a semi-carry dragged me back to the bunk house where they just threw me on my bunk along with a blanket where it seems I immediately peed myself and wasn't aware until I was awakened at 4.30 a.m. to get up to feed my horse I would ride later in the morning at sunrise. Or that I may, "hopefully die before if only!" Cowboys thought the whole episode hilarious for a city-slicker and I never heard the end of it for the following ten days during the completion of the round-up! Aaahhh!! Another one of those fun assignment moments never to be forgotten! And followed with the usual forgotten promise of..... "OH my God I will never drink again in my whole life!" :-) Then immediately forgetting it the next evening at days end! :-) Oh well it was a time! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerry Walden" <gerry.walden at me.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2012 11:25 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Sheep Farm #20 - The two-hole outhouse! > The story makes the image Chris, although the look of isolation begs the > question of who the hell shared it, maybe one of the sheep. > > Gerry > On 16 Sep 2012, at 03:40, Chris Crawford <chris at chriscrawfordphoto.com> wrote: > http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?prodId=1504&category=44 >> Chris Crawford >> Fine Art Photography
