He's a bit of an eclectic cowboy; he paints eggs, likes Yoko Ono's music, and has read Jack Kerouac's book On The Road. So it was not unusual to find himself in the corral wearing shorts and Bir...

Did you slip a $20 bill to a struggling mother who’d just told her kids that she couldn’t afford that spe...
