I'm sorry, but this is just nuts. If we started doing Tai Chi in front of our cows, I'll bet they would run for the hills....and I wouldn't blame them one bit!
And something I have learned after years of living in the country.
No matter what
No matter when
No matter how
If you think you are alone and you do something silly
Funny looking
or just plain stupid and wrong
Somebody will see you....even if you are in your farthest, remotest, plumb hiddenest field..
They will pop out of the bushes or come up the driveway or fly over in an airplane taking pictures.
(We have Murphy's Law out here in the boondocks too you know).
Tai chi! If I tried it, I'll bet it would be all over town in an hour and not because the cows told on me either.

Too funny~! If anyone around here saw me doing something like this in the barn, they would have me hauled out of here in a straightjacket!!
These people simply have too much time on their hands :)
I'll leave this one to DH and his friends. When someone stops by (this only applies to the male of the species) we watch as the conversation goes on, the arm waving, hand signals, and sound effects make quite a show. We always try to make up a script to match the movements! Of course, what my daughter and I think they might be talking about is never what the actual topic of conversation is.
If the cattle happen to be near, they look on at this ritual - not sure what make of it.
Hey, that's why you have gates on your driveway! ;)
Of course that doesn't stop the satellite photos...
That's got to be the dopiest idea I've ever heard.
Wouldn't that be Tai Cheese on a dairy farm?
A friend of mine was hunting and she had to pee. So she looked around and figured she was safe. She was alone in the woods, or so she thought. She proceeded to undo her pants, pull them down and stoop and pee. Right above her was a hunter in a tree stand!
I imagine this is much harder to do in demin and boots trying not to slip on all sorts of goo than if you were wearing a neon Spandex leotard with a matching set of designer sweatbands.
Heck it could be fun though. Just tell Alan to get lots of pics. Can't wait to see the boss doing "Arms like tractor tires".
Some people seem to think rural means privacy, a concept unknown today.
I like the Tai cheese comment. I'm sure the cows would love the entertainment.
Deb, it killed me. I can't believe anyone actually fell for the concept
Nita, I can picture just what you are describing. Must be funny as heck! I can imagine the cows.....lol
rurality, we really should have gates....I wish! And those satellites are scary, aren't they?
Stacy, it boggles my mind...and what the heck kind of farmers do they have that would buy into such nonsense....or have time for it?
FC, you are always so darned punny!
WR, OMG, OMG, that must have been terrible! I was bent over, butt to the driveway, weeding flowers one day, grateful I was alone, since I was in such an undignified pose, when a voice spoke a foot from my ear. After I picked myself out of the mountain ash tree I turned around to find a guy from our co-op board. Don't know how he snuck up on me that way...
Steve, the boss is probably crazy enough to do it AND pose for pictures. You have to know about the pink flamingos and pearls to get an idea of just how nuts he is. lol
Jan, we have no trespassing signs all over, including on the house driveway. But complete strangers come right up anyhow, saying, "We didn't think you would mind."
Regular Guy, I got a huge kick out of it too. We have one cow right now that would probably walk right over and push the cheap entertainment right on the ground. And then work them over.
She is miserable!
