A most peculiar autumn day in this Northern territory. Found myself seeking warmth at an Italian establishment called Capone’s – a name that would’ve drawn more scrutiny in my earlier days. Their beer cheese soup served in a bread bowl proved satisfactory, though hardly matches the fare from my Georgia youth.
Speaking of spirits, I observed the most curious spectacle at Atypical Brewery – costumed canines posing for portraits. Reminds me of my dear companion, my Arkansas Toothpick, though she required far less pageantry.
Later, ventured to witness what they’re calling “professional bull riding.” Must say, watching these gentlemen tempt fate atop 2,000 pounds of fury stirs something familiar in my constitution. A peculiar dance with death, not unlike… well, certain past endeavors of my own. The crowd’s enthusiasm for such dangerous sport is rather telling of human nature.
The evening air carries a bite sharper than a losing gambler’s tongue. Perhaps another bowl of that soup is in order.
