suburban cowboy
fiction
edward w pritchard
for Billie Shepherd
What's America's quiet strength today? It is the suburban cowboy and the modest home that he and his family maintain.
Working nights, or maybe two part time jobs to raise the kids; taxes, health insurance and medical bills can be a real drag but there's still time for a dog or two and money to keep the truck full of gas. Sometimes he just drives around with the radio on listening to the game or his favorite old music. Still he picks up the kids timely after practice or a music lesson.
In a county township or far out on the old State route the suburban cowboy goes about his life, stop and talk to him sometime he's not a bad guy and is ready to help a neighbor out in a jam.
