A story for Jake River's "Willie Nelson" Invitational. When a cheating wife ill-treats and leaves a struggling poor factory manager, sometimes the very best revenge in life is to live well! A tale of how karmic justice sometimes does work out for everyone. Any story codes are trivial and only implied.
Inspired by Willie Nelson's "Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys". Rachel enjoyed 21st Century cowboys but could never be one of their cowgirls.
