<h2>What is a "Milliron X"?</h2>
<h3>
It's a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_branding">cattle brand</a>,
of course! My cattle brand!

<p>
The <dfn>milliron</dfn> is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not
represent anything physical or textual <i>per se</i>, and is therefore a
rather unique element in cattle brands. Millirons are difficult to modify into
another brand, and provide a guarantee of authentic ownership.
</p>
<p>
<dfn>X</dfn> is the letter of mystery and mystique. For nerds, it's the
unknown in any algebra problem. Ranchers and cowboys will associate it with
big names like the "Bar X" and the "Double X." In either case, it lends itself
to a sense of withholding, prestige, and power.
</p>
<p>
Together, these two symbols represent the qualities I strive for in each of my
works: authenticity, originality, power, depth, and prestige.

I've got a soft spot for Brown Swiss dairy cows (just in case you couldn't

especially anything to do with both of them.

## What is a "Milliron X"?
It's a [cattle brand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livestock_branding), of
course! My cattle brand!
The <dfn>milliron</dfn> is the bar with a bend in the middle. It does not
represent anything physical or textual _per se_, and is therefore a rather
unique element in cattle brands. Millirons are difficult to modify into another
brand, and provide a guarantee of authentic ownership.
<dfn>X</dfn> is the letter of mystery and mystique. For nerds, it's the unknown
in any algebra problem. Ranchers and cowboys will associate it with big names
like the "Bar X" and the "Double X." In either case, it lends itself to a sense
of withholding, prestige, and power.
Together, these two symbols represent the qualities I strive for in each of my
works: authenticity, originality, power, depth, and prestige.
