I couldn't find any recent pictures of moose or alligators in Fort Worth to share, but we did run this photo in the Star-Telegram after a recent rodeo. The cowboy is SUPPOSED to rope the calf, throw it to the ground and tie three of its legs together, but it looks like the animal turned out to be a little ... er ... more friendly than he expected. Although Fort Worth is acknowledged as the most ``western'' of Texas cities, most visitors come away surprised by the sophisticated cultural options the community has to offer. I know all of the Knight Ridder papers were asked by the McClatchy PR department to write one-page ``biographies'' of our newspapers that will be printed in the employee magazine later this summer, but we also put together a music slide show on our website to really give you a feeling of what it's like to live here. Check it out at this link.
