So, I'm listening to BBC talking about a bunch of women...
First, a huge boxing match setting Garden records with two women coming close in points and one of the better boxing matches of the decade. There will be a rematch.
That was about two minutes, and I don't even care about two heavyweights beating the shit out of each other, much less two women. This modern version of gladiator battles talks a big deal about the health of the participants, but the audience still wants blood.
After that was a good half hour about Four Daughters Farm in Australia. The Four Daughters (and there's a lot more family involved) are in their 20s and maybe 30s and actually love the ranch life. Managing thousands of head of cattle and millions of Aussie dollars in equipment, they tried the city for a while but hated it. One actually said somebody has to shovel the cowshit, and she would happily be in line. (if she had to...)
The 4 Daughters piece was actually inspiring-- the girls were brought up on the farm while nothing seems to go your way in farming, they love it and had a great outlook. I don't doubt that if someone looks they'll find similar operations here in the US, and around the world.
