Laura E. Swan level-classic October 23, 2014

Do Not Go Into The Light! ... Oh wait. Wrong movie! :))) And besides, that was a closet. I am a city girl and I don't know much about this stuff but I picked huge warble larva's off the back of cows one day (with a needle) helping out on a ranch. I almost threw up. The cows were pinned in tight so they couldn't move. I knew we were helping them but it was horrible. Lol...I don't know what a cattle chute is but I hope they get to walk and it doesn't work like a laundry chute! R, r, r! Great job here, Jeff! It's a very unique image!! -Laura :) #11166604
