February 6, 2002maybe we're all cowboys---------------------
Zamboni fallout: the photo above shows an ancient Zamboni in the front yard of an abandoned house in Alger County, MI near Deerton. The words "Ocean Ice Palace" are barely visible on the side of the ancient Zamboni. The Laughing Whitefish River, still not frozen over, can be seen in the photo below.
-------------------- "Maybe we're all cowboys, or we want to be," said participant Doug Miller, 54, a high school English teacher from White Salmon, Wash. "Cowboy poetry seems a contradiction: You can't visualize cowboys sitting around writing poetry. But then you understand that they're celebrating the land that they nurture and protect, and the relationships that they've developed with the land and one another."
