I saw this Saturday at the Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale. Do you know what it is?
Nope, it's a feed bucket for your horse. Durable, crushable, probably indestructible, American-made, and beautiful. I admired it at this booth:
And my sweet, goofy mother heard me and slipped my equally sweet and goofy brother some cash so he could buy it for me while I wasn't paying attention, which is pretty much any time. It's gorgeous, with nubuck leather trim and strap and belting leather bottom (mine is trimmed in tan). Can you tell I used to sell fine leather goods? I did, you know. Also, those holes are breathing holes. Uh-huh.
Yes, I said a feed bucket. No, I don't have a horse. I'm filling mine with Skittles.

Thanks Mom! I know you're mystified by why anyone would want to throw on a feed bag and walk around that way, but the fact that you indulge my idiosyncrasies and don't question my weirdness means you're weirder than I am, and that's probably where I got it.
If you want to see pictures from this year's Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale -- and why wouldn't you? -- please check out my blog post at my other blog, Reasonably Educated Bumpkins.
Coming up later, Brian. Its currently full of olive oil.

Oh yes, I think you should, Daryl. All it needs is a clasp at the top (easily added) to keep it closed, which I have on my list. $43 and you have the web address. Tell em Foolery sent you! : )
