Being a cowboy was the bestyou didn’t have to worry about picking up the kids or whether or not you set the home security alarm. But before you get all wrapped up in the romanticism of it you’ve got to remember some of the awful parts of living in the Wild West
The Clothes – Have you ever noticed how cowboys always have on full leather when it appears to be 100 degrees outside? The women’s clothes didn’t make much difference, either, and if you’ve never tried chaps on your probably don’t realize how heavy they are.
The Diseases – The common cold did more than set you back a couple of days back in the times of the west, it killed you. If you had the flu or pneumonia? You were a gonner before the town “doctor” even got to you.
The Food – You think cowboy suppers sound nice? Try game meat mixed in with various dirt and stocks then simmering for hours until tough as leather. Mmm, sounds less than awesome, right? We thought so.
