I lived in Calgary for a while, oui, and it was beautiful. And some adopted relatives , they ran in the chuck wagon races and rode the horses and all that. But it was breaking my heart, I cannot stand anything that looks unkind to the animals. I have been known to hide my cousins' heifers that they were taking for auction . And once, after a chicken was killed for lunch I called it by name and had to go sit in the bedroom for discipline since noone then wanted to eat Ralph. . the joke was on me though , because years later the doctor said I must eat at least chicken and fish to correct a blood disorder. Still I had a lot of fun there. You sound like a good and nice country boy, like many that I met at the barn dances and picnics, or the soft ball games. I am glad to know you.
