I saw old Bert getting into his truck a few minutes ago. Like many men here who've cowboyed, his gait is crippled and he walks hunched over and to one side, and always, always wears his cowboy hat.
And it was on the back of that hat where I saw a most unexpected thing. Long known to me one of those dear old men (well into his 80s, I'd imagine) with solidly conservative views (as evidenced by the American Legion stickers and other signs of rightwing allegiances) , it was still unexpected to see Bert climb into his truck with a pink Breast Cancer ribbon on the back of his hat.
