So... I mention in my bio that I grew up in southwestern Oklahoma and developed a healthy fear of cows. Surely, hopefully that is understood as tongue in cheek. Am I afraid of cows? No. Was I ever? Maybe a bit, but only because I was a little guy in southwestern OK and was literally surrounded by cows every time I went out to play in the fields. My now teenage kids have read my bio and have begun to make fun of me for that mention. But they're both city kids and wouldn't know what to do when surrounded by a herd of cows. The thing is... you just gotta leave them alone. They're not to be feared really, but you've gotta appreciate that they can also do you some damage if you aren't suspecting it. True fact... far more people are killed by cows than sharks. It's not even close. And yet... which is feared more? lol! So that's where the joke in my bio comes from. I was well aware of that factoid as a little one running around in the fields of Oklahoma for years. Give them cattle some respect.
