The Cowboy Way - by Rod Snaith  
Rod Snaith was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, just a few miles north of cowboy country. When the Snaith propensity for cheap whiskey and wild cows was discovered, he was sent packing. The North-East Saskatchewan town of Nipawin finally decided to let him stay. Rod spent his youth searching for cheaper whiskey and wilder cows until the draw of the city lights got to be too much. Regina, Saskatchewan seemed like a good place to hitch his horse for awhile. After spending 10 years wandering the city streets, Rod finally realized that there wasn't a single place to park his horse. He also discovered the cows were cheap and the whiskey was wild, so he hit the trail back home. These days, he spends his time avoiding cheap whiskey, cussing at worn out machinery, and trying not to get run over by wild cows.
