Another view of the this storm, which also shows up here, now that I think about it.

How about that bright white building against the storm-darkened sky? But maybe you are wondering what “limousin” means. It’s a breed of cattle, originally from France, that are prized for their lean and tender meat, their low birth weight (which translates to ease of calving), and some technical things like average dressing percentage and yield. As always, Wikipedia provides the information.

Maybe you’re thinking that with the weekend nearly here, you might want to take a drive and see if you can spot some limousin cattle – how much fun that would be! – but don’t know what they look like. You are in luck, because right here we’ve got a handy identification guide!

And later, after the drive, maybe you could stop for a burger on the way home. Unless that would make you feel disloyal.

And one more thing: espeula is Spanish for spur.
