One of the things we seldom witness when we are called for is self-reliance. It made a pleasant change on Sunday for us to witness someone display resourcefulness and demonstrate a clear ability to sort out their problems for themselves. Heather, in the photo here, has just deliberately capsized and then rolled upright. She made it look not only easy but also fluid. A fine example of how skill, training and prior preparation can overcome adversity.Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride
(Rawhide is a Western song written by Ned Washington (lyrics) and composed by Dimitri Tiomkin in 1958. It was originally recorded by Frankie Laine. The song was used as the theme to Rawhide, the western television series that ran on CBS from 1959 to 1966. From wikipedia via Will)
