My Grandpa, Lee Foster Brimhall


I submit to you, my fine readers, that Lee Foster Brimhall may be the last of a generation: the last of the real cowboys. What makes a real cowboy as opposed to a fake one? Let me answer that question for you.

1. My Grandpa Lee was gored by a bull...and lived.

2. Uses the word "damn" as though if he was saying "hello".

3. Wears bolo ties and make those bolos look awesome.

4. I have three words for you. Turquoise Belt Buckles.

5. Owns a ranch.

6. Is famous for a poem that delves into the subject of methane and cow manure.

7. Listens to real country music. Not Taylor Swift.


Here's to Grandpa!

Can't forget "wears neon pink shirts and pays it no mind."
