This is America

Matt, Ashley, Jenell, Michael, Mandy, Kaylyn, Bessey


On Saturday, a group of friends and I drove out to the Montgomery County Fair for a demolition derby. I had never been to such a cultural event. I deeply enjoyed the crashing cars, burning fires, and the smells of burnt rubber and metal. Following the adage, when in Rome, a few of us decided to dress up to assimilate to the cultural environment. Jenell dressed in all denim and cowgirl boots. Michael wore jorts, a "Bad to the Bone" t-shirt, and a bandanna ---well done. I wore a Butte wrestling t-shirt, jeans, and high heels.... so classy. Bessey looked as if he just moved from Idaho with his jeans, boots, cowboy shirt, and bright orange hat. I educated my friends about the culture with a few of my own stories about growing up in the country: a popular story was how I was born in a car after my parents left a cattle sale.....true story.
