@AmericanGwyn more titles. I wish the story included more titles of books

@granttosterudwx And then the summer of 2019 was a wet summer across the West. May that pattern repeat itself

@aliceoutthere1 too hot

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@HotshotWake Looks like the mane, most of the tail, and tips of the ears burned off that horse... not the first time it's happened

@paulickreport This is a sign that hung in arena in North Texas of Jack Brainard, longtime friend of Lukas and guy who helped Lukas train his first race horse in MN many years ago. Jack died in 2021 at age 100. I met Lukas at the memorial service. Looks like a cat blew thru this sign...

Well, we bought our tickets for Brazzaville, Congo, in August. So we’re excited about that…

@davidchaffetz our story...

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

I wrote about our experience at the World Nomad Games in Kazakhstan last September for @outsidemagazine. It's a game that reveals a deeply rooted aspect of the horse-human relationship...

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@davidchaffetz @SarahMaslinNir Hmmm... world of racehorses is relevant to this i think. So is conversation about nosebands, as long as talking about ergonomics of horse headgear. And the TMJ. A lot happens inside a horse's mouth...

spring in New Mexico

@AmericanGwyn @ErikStorey @SydSteyerhart interesting. cattle were driven from TX to LA under Spanish rule. some MS river markets maybe...

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@AmericanGwyn @ErikStorey @SydSteyerhart Good eye. Calls them herders... might be an incongruency with timing of cattle in Abilene, the Mexican longhorn-types hadn't really made it that far north in significant numbers by that point it think

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@AmericanGwyn this thread is pretty telling re what people think of cowboys, how they define and interpret that word. fuck i wish i could muster the whatever to write a book on only this

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@ErikStorey @SydSteyerhart @AmericanGwyn no cowboys in Blood Meridian...

[Will Grant @WillGrant2]

@AmericanGwyn I think some part of him wished he went the cowboy way. He loved depth of trade, craft. During that interview in El Paso, he ordered black coffee and a charbroiled ribeye... for lunch.

@MiroslavBobek 👍👍👍

@herdyshepherd1 Man, this is too cool... what a great tool. You're right, for exclusion as well as containment. Durability I guess would be a factor, and having good quiet cows so you can deal with the collars. Pretty cool

Supai, a remote village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, is the last place in America where the USPS delivers mail by mule, Sarah Yager writes. The mules provide a crucial connection to the outside world—and a reminder of the country’s founding promise. https://t.co/sDnI2RAC1R

@TheAtlantic Damn good story...
