brief musings on a cow.

we pass this cow every day on the way to the hospital. i wonder a lot about the logistics of the cow, and her neighbor who hangs out down the street. where does she live? where does she go in the afternoon? who takes care of her? does someone own her or does everyone share her? did the people of the neighborhood pitch in to buy her? do you even buy cows? either way, i'm pretty sure her existence is better than that of 95% of the patients we see.
i also find it to be totally wild that in this gigantic city there are still cows hanging out on the street.

I spent the day in a barn with 3000 cows. Not an exaggeration. Your one may well be luckier than all of them combined, if only for the noticeable lack of anybody wearing a large plastic glove.
