Running of the sheep,

Talking Its the same thing as:

The running of the bulls in Spain, only a lot safer.

Keith

That's just a guess.

From what I understand, unlike Pamploma where the bulls chase the men, in Montana the men chase the sheep! Why doesn't this surprise me?! What's next: the running of the altar boys at the Vatican?

Default I was raise among the sage brush

I was raise in Eastern Oregon. We had a couple of sheep ranchers in our area. Every spring they would take a couple of thousand sheep up into the mountains for the summer. I use to help drive the sheep for a few bucks every spring and summer. When we'd go through a small town everyone would come out and watch the "sheep parade". I believe Reed Point has made some kind of celebration about these annual events. Bring in a little tourist money. Good for them. But, watching a bunch of sheep walk through town is only slightly more exciting than watching grass grow.

Keith,

I'd hate to be the guy who has to count the sheep! He probably has to take his caffeine intravenously!
