Eyewitnesses
When I made this shot, I thought it was about the bronc rider and the horse.
Turns out I was wrong: it was actually about the row of cowboys back there, behind the pens, paying careful attention to that eight-second ride.

Hard Water Area
The water around here, pumped to the surface from the Ogallala Aquifer, is hard – full of dissolved minerals and high in calcium and magnesium carbonates.
And it sure does seem odd that water could be harmful enough to require a warning sign, but hard water can indeed damage paint on a car. Really!
I’ve never seen a sign like this before, though, and my brain just refused to believe was it was seeing, and translated the sign to read “Hard Hat Area” but that didn’t make any more sense. Sometimes my brain gets ahead of itself like that, but it usually comes around. Eventually.

Equipment, driving range
Everyone does this at the driving range – trying to hit the cart pulling this apparatus that augers up the golf balls – don’t they?
