I have a horse. Horses are my religion and I go to the barn five times a week. I must be a good cultist, since my horses love me. I do sometimes dress them funny, but they don't mind, usually.
I know that the current administration and their supporters mostly don't read, pay no attention to history and think consequences do not, and never will, apply to them. I am sure the nobility of France thought that before the Revolution, too.

When the people are pushed beyond their tolerance, revolution happens. Americans who have guns are not only MAGA. People who can fight are not just military. Some police, sheriff, military and others remember that whole uphold the Constitution oath.

Most of my collection is just for looks, but we did real cavalry drills, and I can still swing steel pretty well for an old lady. I still ride with a machete on my saddle when on trail, and if Scotty gets better, well, he was fine with hacking brush and trees

Anyway, started with a cheap costume blade, nothing but stainless steel and brass, got an old repro of a cavalry saber, made the leather for saddle and belt slings, found a place that did cheap stuff. Then found a Pakistani copy of Sting at Comic con in good steel. Love that thing.

Helen was Washington, we had about 20 folks decked out. We all rode down to the Santa Fe tracks, dressed ranks and saluted when the train went by. No idea what folks thought of us, but I would have liked to know what the Engineer thought. My Gramps was an engineer for Illinois Central.

Now, we didn't use real blades on games, no one was nuts enough to do that while chasing each other all over Penasquitos and Sorrento Valley, but we all had other reasons. One Fourth of July we all dressed up in costumes, not to fight. I was Paul Revere, my little brother and some others redcoats.

Halloween was a Production, all the gear came out. My Valkyrie costume was Wagner inspired, though my horse Max decided she had to save me from the shiny silver bird on my head. I dislocated my tailbone and unfortunately gave Max a complex about helmets. Bareback sucks ever since

I was Chief of the Orcs, we wore black and red, Helen was Captain of Rohan, they wore green and white. We played in costume with crops padded on the ends and lots of rules, Same for Cavalry and indians, I was a Lt. in blue, Helen a Sioux war chief in a pretty good costume.

So Lowen wanted to know why I had so many swords on my wall in the entry. I used to ride with a bunch of kids and semi grown ups on Helen's school horses. We wore costumes and played games in costume on horseback. Cavalry and Indians, LOTR, all variations of tag. Also, Halloween.

So, one day I went out to feed the mixed flock and didn't realize the Sheriff and half his honchos were behind me. I shouted "Come, my evil minions!" and they all cawed and started flying around. I got weird looks from those guys until I retired a few years later.

Eventually, the crows found out, and began hanging around. They got to the point that they would follow me from the parking structure that they had to stake out to find me. I'd balance peanuts on the hand rails and they'd slide around trying to get the nut before others, including jays, did.

So later I worked for the Sheriff, in a building on a canyon with a patio out back, and began feeding the local jays, two distinct flocks. I worked 2nd shift, so at 5, I got a break as the higher ups left. Eventually, both flocks would come at my whistle and descend on the scattered peanuts.

So someone posted about "murder of crows", and I had a bird story. I used to work at a place with a boss who fed the scrub jays downtown. Peanuts in a can by the door. They learned that I was cool and followed me on the street. I'd hold up a peanut in the air and one would fly by and grab it.

Scotty is still lame but getting better. 2 1/2 wks ago Red was chasing him around the corral and nipping Scotty's butt. Scotty probly tried to kick and missed. It's not a skill he has.
Messed up left hind tendon. Scotty locked in the small pen, Red in the big part, not happy. Scotty on bute

Had Thanksgiving dinner, more like lunch? at the barn. It's where the barbecue lives. Me and Kelcey had steaks, which I brought, and he brought steak fries, salt and Montreal steak seasoning, and pie. Never got to the pie. We both brought new air fryers, used his, went well. Hope he uses his at home

Trapped in my house, afraid to leave cause the lady upstairs keeps using the bathroom sink for something that makes mine overflow. I gotta be here to bail! I thought she had a washer hooked in, but the manager says no, so she must be dumping mop water or something? Can you be a filipina babushka?

Well, winter malaise has set in. I blew off the barn trip today. Was there yesterday, they won't miss me. Much.
