Real Cowboy Stuff — Dave P. Fisher

What is the difference between Hollywood cowboy stuff and REAL cowboy stuff? One is perfect, edited, cropped, photo-shopped, and serious. The other ain't. Guess which is which? Take a humor-filled ride to Winnemucca, Nevada to meet Jack and his gullible, always looking for a path-to-riches ranching pard Cleve, as they strive to scratch a living out of their Plenty o' Rocks Cattle Company. Every day on the Plenty o' Rocks is a struggle against the elements, calamity, broken down trucks, past due bills, unwelcome visits from Slim, and Cleve's crazy get-rich-quick schemes. Then, throw in the cast of characters from Charlie's Bar and the Auction Yard, and you have a recipe for Real Cowboy Stuff. In Jack's satirical, calls-it-like-he-sees-it viewpoint you will hear about his best buddy Stubb, who is a bit short on modern understanding; nemesis windbag neighbor Slim Johnson; prankster and Charlie's bouncer 300-pound Big Billy Bear; Mindy, Old Man Polecat, Lefty, Three-finger Mike, and a few other characters who weave in-and-out of his life leaving him to sometimes wonder if he is the last borderline sane person on earth who hasn't crossed the border â€" or has he?
