Right there with you. Bring it ON!

I once pulled a bail of hay to find a huge black snake lying on top of the bail beneath it. I'm told my 20 vertical foot descent from the top of the loft was a rolling dive. Yes, I knew it lived in the barn. It still startled me. And yes, it took me hours to stop shaking.

It happens.

Indeed so. You did a service for the riders coming after you through Laci's teachings.

Good choices. She'll put them to good use, I have no doubt.

The latest report on the Boyz makes for a grand way to start the week. Least surprising to me: that the buddy-bonding dissolved in the company of a larger herd. Most surprising (and the cause for a grin): Tigger as protector of a baby donkey. Thank you for the update.

Thank you!

I get a few of those per day, and they almost always result from auto-dialers dropping the pass off to the spammers using them.

Congratulations, dear lady!
