Look at all this water used to make a Stetson cowboy hat

Holy crap, so much water used to make one hat. :(

The Rider: Gary Leffew and the lives of rodeo cowboys

You have to watch this wonderful short profile of Gary Leffew, a real rodeo cowboy, shot by Joris Debeij (I am Los Angeles) and originally published by The New York Times. It gives a glimpse into a life that is truly American in spirit but has faded in interest over time as modern technology and changes in life have taken over. It's a beautifully shot portrait of this area and the people that keep this lifestyle alive.
