Old Macdonald had a farm


EIEIO! With a cow cow here and a cow cow there, here a cow, there a cow, everywhere a cow cow! Man, these cows are everywhere. I don't think you can see clearly in this picture, but the cows in India are very funny looking. They have a hump on their backs just like camels, and big long horns like a ram. The locals think I am nuts for taking the pictures that I take. They just don't understand why I would take a picture of something so ordinary and boring as a cow! The cows sortof run the roads around here. In the Hindu faith cows are a sacred animal. That is not the only reason they run the roads. The rice is coming up now, and the cows are not allowed to eat it (so, rather than build fences like in Canada) we just let them run around the town and sit in traffic circles! Which is where this picture was taken. Wouldn't that be an easier solution for you Aunt Pat? Soon the rice season will be over and the cows will be returned home (I hope). Maybe I will get a chance to put a better picture up before that.
