I was working on some fence today and looked up to see one bunch of cows running over the hill with something large and silver behind them. I jumped in the truck to see what was chasing the cows and found about 25 shiny silver balloons blowing in the wind (the cows just happened to be in the path) at ground level. So after I chased the cow chasing balloons down, I find a sign tied to the bottom of them. It says that if you find these balloons to contact this radio station. Obviously I'm not to happy that the balloons nearly put the cows through a fence so I fire up the cell phone and call the number on the sign and prepare to chew some tail. After being put on hold several times I finally get a live body and more or less vent on him about the situation. When I'm finished he says to me " you know what this means don't you?" - I have no clue, so he explains that I have one a contest and all I have to do is drive down to the radio station and pick up the cash. I ask where is the station and he tells me Dallas Tx. I tell him to keep the money because it would take most of the money for me to traavel down and back ( keep in mind I live in S E Iowa) and it wouldn't be worth it. He almost freaks out when he finds out how far the balloons have traveled and tells me to stay on the line and they will get more info from me. Long story shortened a bit - they are supposed to send me the cash! Unbelievable. If you're down around Dallas Tx and listen to KISS FM 106.1 you may here a disgruntled cowboy on the radio ( there will be some BLEEPS if they air it) RW

Good grief RW -- you lucky bugger you! If that had been me, in my pasture, most likely the cows would have ATE the balloons thinking they were giant range cubes from heaven, and I never would have found the note!!!

I told you I was in the wrong place most of the time!!!

WAy to go pard --

I dont listen to it, but thats the biggest pop radio station down here.  Been around forever.  I bet you get your money.  I can just picture yours running from the monster.

You know your a BLESSED cattle producer when you have cash floating around your pasture!  (angel)

Did they by chance tell you when they released the balloons?

They said it was turned loose about 24 hours before it came blowing into my pasture. RW

I'd love to have some cash balloons chase my cows around for a little bit.

RW, I think you were just givin a sign!  The cow chasing the balloon is now your CASH COW!  You might want to consider flushing her!  (lol)

There were about 36 cows and calves that the balloons were chasing - a couple of them probably should be flushed but the lottery ticket I bought last night didn't win. Maybe I can get old Cowboy to cut me a discount rate for being such a nice guy! ;D RW
