In Asheville, NC, we went to see our friend's ceramic studio - located among a number of artists' studios and an unexpected old car museum in Grovewood Village.
This is one of my favorite shots, thought I would publish it in b/w, it takes on a whole new character when the late afternoon sunlight is cut from the shot. Bulldogging or Steer Wrestling no matter what you call it, it is a fast pace sport.

Thanks for viewing.
Our neighbor Big Max is always friendly, curious and gentle as a lamb. . .he is a crossbred Highland steer, his ancestors originally from Scotland. [we had to clean the lens after this photo]
Often meets own destiny on the road that had been taken to avoid it.

- Dígame?
- Doctor, la paciente XXX va a fallecer esta noche.
- Qué dice? Cuando la he visitado esta tarde estaba bastante bien.
- Oscar se ha subido a su cama y está acurrucado junto a ella ronroneando.
- Otra vez con esas historias sobre Oscar? Ya sabe que no me creo esos rumores que corren por el Centro. No obstante, ahora voy.
La paciente XXX falleció dos horas después.
Este diálogo puede haberse producido con palabras parecidas y en más de una ocasión entre el personal del “Centro de Enfermería y Rehabilitación Steere House”, en Rhode Island y el Dr. David Dosa, geriatra y Director del Centro.
Oscar era uno de los gatos de terapia del Centro. Poco tiempo después de llegar empezaron los rumores sobre sus supuestas habilidades: Oscar tenía tendencia a acurrucarse al lado de ciertos pacientes, aquellos cuyo tiempo en el Centro estaba llegando a su fin.
Al principio el personal pensó que estos sucesos eran meras coincidencias, pero a medida que el número de fallecidos seguían coincidiendo con los compañeros elegidos por Oscar, el patrón se hizo demasiado distintivo para ignorarlo (llegaron a ser más de 50).
A medida que las historias sobre los actos de Oscar se difundían dentro de las paredes de Steere House se cultivó un profundo respeto por él. Enfermeras, cuidadores, médicos y familiares comenzaron a percibir algo profundamente humano en las rondas nocturnas de Oscar. Estas experiencias no solo reformularon la forma en que las personas veían el paso de la vida, sino que también mejoraron su comprensión de la dignidad inherente al final de la misma, en parte gracias a la presencia silenciosa pero profunda de Oscar.
El Dr. David Dosa, escéptico al principio, terminó aceptando la realidad del peculiar comportamiento de Oscar y le hicieron comprender mejor la importancia de la empatía y los aspectos no físicos del cuidado de los pacientes. Estas percepciones influenciaron su enfoque no solo hacia sus responsabilidades profesionales, sino también hacia una perspectiva más amplia sobre la vida y la muerte. Oscar enseñó al Dr. Dosa y a sus colegas que reconocer y honrar las necesidades emocionales de los moribundos puede ser tan importante como abordar sus síntomas físicos.
Él es el autor del libro “De guardia con Oscar”. Una historia conmovedora y tierna que narra la extraordinaria vida de Oscar, un gato aparentemente común con un don extraordinario.
While on RAGBRAI, the massive bicycle ride across Iowa, I had the opportunity to pose on Bufford, the largest steer in the midwest.
The motion is upwards / at least for some time / as seen from the inbuild spectator.

Back in the day, the sixties, it was a chore to turn the wheel of a car until power steering came into vogue. Then you could steer a car effortlessly with one finger tip. At some time the auto industry must have realized that this power steering was a bit too effortless so steering wheels changed from power steering to power assisted steering.
I've positively identified this as a Ford Fairlane Sunliner. I'm guessing around 1957.
The steering wheels were rigid and mounted on non-collapsible steering columns. This arrangement increased the risk of impaling the driver in case of a severe crash. The first collapsible steering column was invented in 1934 but was never successfully marketed. By 1956, Ford came out with a safety steering wheel that was set high above the post with spokes that would flex, but the column was still rigid.

Steers are less aggressive than bulls, this lot, about 20 of them were very friendly, although if I’d have seen that big dribble before I got into position to take the photo I might have moved a little further back. Steers are also normally raised for meat, sorry boys but your future is looking as though it’s not going to be too rosy.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
