Well, now that the subject of cattle in the garden has come up... In
late summer of 1978, I took a little used but very straight side road
[Montgomery County, KY] to get around some very slow traffic. This was a
good time to blow carbon buildup out of the car too. Well, it figures, a cow
came out in the road. I screeched to a halt, and it stood there and watched
me. Then, before moving, it went "moo"... One fellow I know saw this event.
Some years later, while on the way to George Slade's Iris Garden north
of Cynthiana, KY, I came over a hill on the road, and doggone it, there stood
a cow in the road. The same guy was right behind me, and when we ended up in
the same Agronomy Class, I heard "moo" all semester.
Well, last year, I was on my way to a nursery near Newberry, FL. While
heading north up US 41, between Archer and Newberry, I am cruising along at
60-65 MPH when up ahead, out comes a big Black Angus right into the road. I
go for the breaks, and the darn thing stands there and watches me come to a
stop. "Moo" and it walks off. Behind me is a pickup truck. I pull into a
BP Station in Newberry to get gas, in come the pickup truck. The driver gets
out, and..."moo"...
If only those Louisiana Irises at the nursery had been named...
