the people ~ it's about the people

I've said so many times since we started our full time journey that one of the best parts has been the people we've met. So many people with such interesting stories.

Case in point ~ Jim Armstrong. Shown below in his office. I suspect Kimberly and Jack realize right away what Jim does for work by looking at this picture!

We met Jim a couple nights ago at the Moose Lodge in Greenville, MI where we stayed for five or six nights. Jim is a sales rep for Select Sires. In other words he sells bull semen - the "containers" you see in his office each contain many vials (or "straws" as they are called) of frozen semen. A sperm bank for cows.

So apparently when a farmer wants his cows to have calves he goes to this chart and selects the bull and uses the selected semen to impregnate the cow (there are directions on the Select Sires website, but when I went back to link it to this post I couldn't find it, but it IS there somewhere)! Hmmmmmmm

One of the best parts has been the interesting people.
