The backdrop for this handsome man's workout is a patch of prickly pear cactus, aka opuntia. My sister got thrown off her horse once into a prickly pear thicket, and it took our mother hours to pull all the thorns out of her. The upside of having all that stuff around was that Mama made really good jam out of the fruits. Processing the fruit was an arduous process, though. During severe droughts, I had every 12 year old boy's dream job, riding around on a tractor with a flame thrower to burn off the thorns so the cows would have something to eat. I had an interesting childhood.
After reading all that, Jerry, we have to hope this male did not fall backward into that thicket.
