[Bonanza]

I think what happened at Brownwood today is typical of what happens when you have a couple thousand people crowded together for an event -- an event that could be anywhere when you don't have tickets and assigned seating. I feel sorry for RockyMountainMan and his father.

My husband and I stood in the street for well over an hour, in wait for the Clydesdales. When the horses were coming around, we, too, were overwhelmed by people who seemingly came out of the woodwork and almost knocked us down! Don't forget -- we were standing in front for over an hour. We, too, were enveloped by the mob. Yes, the crowd at large was rude, selfish and even mean.

I made a decision that in the future we simply won't go to these mobbed events or go and put with the rudeness that most of these people think is okay.

And then there are those who bring their dog and think that's perfectly okay. That's a whole 'nother story!
