Income range

Aggressive paid athletic performers such as Pro rodeo cowboys according to some sources may make upwards of a million dollars i per annum. The US average cowboy performers make under 40 thousand dollars a year and top out mid $70,000 a year.l

Injuries

Pro rodeos hire clowns to protect performers from excited livestock. However serious injury is a reasonable risk for some to take.

Trends

The romantic lifestyle of the Rodeo cowboy is always in jeopardy and for people to establish themselves on the pro circuit they risk injury and poverty on a long road up. The hundred performances a year is also a cumulative claim on a person’s life.

The local Rodeo Association in Merritt is hosting the local pro Rodeo Sept 3 and 4th “Rodeo is back” is trending.

Found to keep and cherish..

I felt the feeling long time appealing.
Perhaps a drive for the masses.
Hold, no way, it was you alone.
And was strange and familiar all at once.
That we once knew each other as you are me and I am you.
Particles of our being mixed in a distant ancient nova. 
Separated and spread to the winds of time 
Till time and draw did meet.
 Our knowing,skating on words of synergy. 
Agreement a value in the mix.
Our senses  jumped a foot and a day.
To explain this build and thus employ it's destiny to our moment with  eternity to ply.
Our prize of peace to keep forever more ❤️. KDG

I Love You.

Stay safe you guys.

Coldwater river hits back.

This July will see the return of rocking on the river in Merritt BC. The events will bring people back to a little bit closer to normal as the world goes on.l we look forward to this event and somebody might say live, love laugh with others recently overcoming severe trials.

Push back on the flooding that made all of Merritt be under evacuation order last November…

Four day camping on the grounds, four days out of the city. Four days away from the glue of the tube and the sticky world of woe. Good luck.
