A Sheep Thing

I don't know what this actually is, but apparently sometimes in Ketchum, ID they need to march sheep down the street in a sheep parade. This only effected my trip to Sun Valley once when I had to leave through Ketchum and I couldn't get out of town because of the sheep thing. They are serious about their sheep. Don't mess with the sheep. And if you can't sleep, it is probably because of the sheep. I have never asked many questions about this sheep thing but maybe some of my brothers and sisters can help to explain this exciting cultural event.

I don't know how you could possibly explain blocking off all the traffic areas to parade around a bunch of sheep, but sometimes you just gotta! I know how it goes. If I had a huge heapin' pile 'o' sheep, I would most definitely like to parade them around. My question is how do they differentiate between one man's heard of sheep and another's? Do they get to wear name tags like we do when we get shoved into large groups of people? Reminds me a lot of the new student orientation I ditched most of. Name tags and other such adhesive labels one must wear at times are no good for me because I tend to forget that I have them on which can cause embarrassment to ensue. Is that the proper use of 'ensue'? A'ight. That's enough of my rambling.
