   Interseting--what's a vambrace, I wonder? Good to know about the   
   fleece-lined stuff in WY and Montana. I was looking at jobs up there. There   
   are some ranchers here in Missouri, but I don't imagine they'd need chaps.   
   Heavy jeans, I guess, because the high grass can get sharp, or full of   
   snakes! The hawks and buzzards and other birds I notice sit on the phone   
   poles  and power lines in west Missouri. I was told they like snakes and   
   other nasty things to eat. The farmers and rachers like to have 'em around.   
   Foxes and other animals makes dens on the farms, too, I understand.
