Things We Never Thought We’d Get Used to Seeing

Things We Never Thought We’d Get Used to Seeing:


- A commercial truck with 20 horned steers barreling down the highway, with men in hammocks suspended above the cattle.
- Straight men walking down the street holding hands.
- Children bathing in a puddle, and just being glad they’re using soap.
- Buying a bottle of peanut oil in the market (already in a used beer bottle), only to have the woman selling it pouring it into a thin black plastic bag.
- Watched one child slap another on the head with a closed pair of scissors and thought is “Wow, where did they get scissors?”
- Beef being sold not from a butcher counter but rather from a tray on a woman’s head (not where we get ours because of Steve’s budding friendship with our local abattoir).
