Cowboy Chris

Cowboy Chris isn't from Texas or Oklahoma. He lives on the edge of the St. Louis metropolitan area. We don't have actual cowboys here, not day-to-day working ones. Although, come to think of it, when I was about to leave my high school in New York City for college in distant St. Louis, a couple of my friends actually thought there was some risk of Indian attack way out here. Chris must have got his certification elsewhere. He does have an official lariat. Now he makes and sells gourmet barbecue sauce. I met him at his booth at the Earth Day festivities last week.
