In the local supermarket I push my cart on. Dressed in a long jacket and with a big hat on my head, I slide along the shelves. In the sauce and sepens, I will be standing next to a mother with two small children. A boy and a girl from somewhere between 4 and 10 years old. The youngest, the guy, says, “Look Mom, a cowboy.”

Ad Rem I answer: “Yes, and have you seen my horse too?” To which the girl shouts: “O Mam, it’s really a cowboy!”
