You notice these things because the farmer and the city kid were vastly different animals. And he became legendary when I took stories of The Hat cussing and kicking, and eating, back to the uninitiated in the suburbs. He was probably doing the same – taking stories of the uselessness and incompetence of city kids to the saleyards and the local Federated Farmers meetings. ”A man needed that.”I would feed off the sight of another man feeding. By one o’clock, what a man needed was viscera, innards, guts, offal.
