RT was driving toward Hohenwald, TN this past Saturday morning to get lumber to do some repairs at the log cabin. He was cruising along a country road, and to his right was a sheer rock wall that rose straight up for about 25 feet with a ditch between the road and the wall. As he drove along, out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of a large shape plummeting down the cliff. His immediate thought was that a boulder had broken loose from the rock ledge at the top. As he swerved to the left to avoid being hit, he caught a better look and realized that it wasn’t a boulder. A large black angus cow was falling down the wall. In his rear view mirror he saw the cow land in the ditch, lie there dazed for a couple seconds, and then get up and walk off. Now THAT is not something you see every day!
Ha! Just look at this graphic I found! It’s perfect!

Mushy, I was laughing so hard when RT told me the story. And then I looked for a graphic and found a “falling cows” sign. Crazy!

This is the most hysterical thing I have heard in a long time!! I hope the poor thing didn’t suffer any lasting effects!

Carol!! You know that this is very similar to a Charles Shaw story!!! Ask Mama to tell you about Daddy borrowing Daddy Shaw’s car with James and a cow falling on it. I’ve forgotten the details.
TMS: You’re kidding me! I’ve never heard that story ….although now, the more I think about it, maybe I have. I’ll be at mother’s tomorrow, and I’ll make sure she tells me the story.
