Rodeo and Simplicity


As a symbol of simplicity, I'd like to talk about the Houston Rodeo.

Surprisingly, tickets are getting snapped up long before the rodeo itself. It seems like it is such a popular event relative to the ticket supply, that now is the time to get RodeoHouston tickets.

By the time the rodeo starts, people will probably be turning to scalpers and ticket brokers.

I have too many work and family obligations but, if I could, I would like to attend the rodeo, because it's fun and exciting.

It's like going into a time machine, and getting to experience the Old West. A simpler time, where you get to see hard work, and craftsmen who have honed their skills.

I hope a lot of families and regular working class people get to buy tickets before the brokers sell them at markups to celebrities and the wealthy. This event is like the circus - one of the few live events you can bring your family to and the kids will be entertained instead of bored.

I especially would like to see the bull riding competition - I think it is very challenging, and that the cowboys in that event have a lot of guts.
