When The Cows Come Home
Cows on the American roadside are a pretty common occurrence. Everyone from dairies to restaurants employ them as enticing pieces of lawn sculpture. However, spotting a cow at over 15-feet tall standing in someone's front yard calls for further investigation.
Next to the utterly big beast in Georgia is the "Down By The Cow" consignment store. It is a Salvation Army drastically led astray. The isles wind themselves all over some woman's front lawn who is more than happy to aid in an explanation. "That cow has been there, oh, at least twenty years," she tells Back on Tack. The man who lives there (no name given) just liked it, so he bought it." Her words are heavily accented by southern drawl that seems to only intensify as she is antagonized by a six-year-old daughter. "Ask anyone in Savannah. They all know the giant cow."
"They just pulled right up on in here and put it on a trailer." When hurricane Floyd came ashore the breathtaking bovine took a blow from a tree limb that fell on it. No visible handicaps were incurred and the cowrageous beast remains a true moover and milk shaker.
