I had to laugh as I was driving down the feeder road to the highway today.... miles upon miles of horse droppings. LOL! There was nothing to do but drive right through them just like everyone else!
You might wonder why there was not only horse droppings on the main streets of Houston, but MILES of horse droppings. Well, ya see folks, it's rodeo time! Every year, when the rodeo comes to H-town, there is a parade of horses and covered wagons that take the main roads into the city for the big shows. That is what I was following (along with a few other traffic-lodged vehicles... traveling horses are just no competition for an automobile, I'm afraid.)
Hopefully I'll get to make it out to one of the shows this year. It's amazing; the rodeo has broadened it's horizons and not only offers huge country stars as a source of big-show entertainment, but artists such as Janet Jackson, Kid Rock and KISS will be performing this year. (Pretty cool, huh?)
