The traditions and lifestyle of a cowboy are a lifelong journey. A tip of the hat goes out to these women, men, and families who are recognized as we celebrate the National Day of the Cowboy on the fourth Saturday of July. They are the ones who broke trail, work in the fields, wrangle cattle, work hard, and play hard to make way for the next generation to follow in their footsteps.

Conjecture on my part that the swagger is a forgery. Executed to imitate his idea of a cowboy-cum-truck driver? A walk that does not resonate as something he learned from a previous lifestyle.

Black garb, accentuated by a plain blue shirt, topped off with a well worn, black cowboy hat. Pant legs, half tucked into his cowboy boots. Perhaps trying too hard to recreate an idle from a different era. 

A second or third day’s growth surrounds an established goatee. It screams he wants to be different. Making the statement that he is striving for a new look. Possibly an attempt to transition away from his old life?

Is the underlying, stereotypical sight I think I am seeing, all wrong? There is the innate possibility that he is just a regular guy. One who parked his rig outside the restaurant so he could have a meal. Perhaps it’s on purpose that he portrays himself in a different light? A ruse so he can eat in peace? The ultimate goal to go about his business, incognito and uninterrupted, is once again fulfilled.

Is it all a facade?

Maybe…​
