This story is funny now, but when it first happened I was really upset…
A couple years ago, I was at the ranch making my rounds – checking water and making sure that the cows’ feeders had ample salt and minerals. I had brought my dachshund Trixie along for the day’s ride, and at one of my stops I had to get out and fix a trough float that was unseated and overflowing.

This truck had automatic locks and as it was a hot day, I had left the windows up with the air conditioner running.

Not long ago I bought a one-of-a-kind handbag made from a recycled Domino movie billboard. Yes, I am talking about the kitschy 2005 movie featuring Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke. My bag features the portion of the poster which shows a smirking Mickey and his gun, and it is such a bold bag that it
