Tied Up

As Ki'il and I drove back the dirt road from Golden and Silver Falls yesterday, we both noticed the same black and white, curly-horned cow standing by the same tree at the roadside where it had been hours earlier. I stopped the truck and we got out to investigate, thinking the cow must be stuck on somethig. It was standing at the top of a fairly steep bank and a muddy rope was tied around its neck. The rope led down the bank to where it was tied to a fallen log. I then noticed the open gate, which would necessitate the tether.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you, Cow. It doesn't seem like you could possibly have wanted to stand in the same spot for so long. You were a handsome cow.
