The other thing is that serious horse people (FHOTD seems to be an exception) seem to be to the right of Ghengis Khan. THere’s one I like to read because really, she writes beautifully about horses and nature – but she writes some really ugly stuff when she veers into politics. Says the only reason she doesn’t want to vote for McCain is that he’s not far right enough for her!

Have the awesome powers of BDL ever translated into a blog?

About the horse world being female separatists: Down my street (I live on the outskirts of town, last house west of 183 with Austin city services) there’s a thriving colony of black men with horses. They trot by in front of my house with some frequency. There’s a couple of women involved on the periphery now & then but basically it’s guys.

There’s a big ol corral ringed with trailers & lean-tos where they hang out, and my theory is that they “go see to the horses” mainly to drink beer with the other guys in the company of said horses. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; the company of horses is generally pretty damned good company, even if they never buy a round.

So: the horse world. Separated by sex AND race.

Ten-roger, Twisty. We’ve got a successful song infection on our hands. My 20’s up in rural Oklahoma, so I was not immunized against trucker tracks. It’s gonna be next week before I can get it out of my head. Now, I gotta get going; Smokey’s on my tail. That’s a 10-10, I’m out.

1. Wildfire – West of the Mississip hell. I’m from MICHIGAN and that song is tattooed on my left frontal lobe.

2. I too was innoculated against Convoy by my hippie parentage.

3. Goddamn the mofo who put that stupid horse with no name song into my head.

Styx “Aaaaangel……..of the mooooooooorning” is also evil & persistent; I highly recommend it for vengeance purposes. I had to cut off my own head last summer to get rid of it. The good news: the cure is permanant.

I admire the hell out of anyone who can adapt a song’s lyrics to their own nefarious purposes! I possess very little poetry, alas.

Except you just did, Vera, because now that’s in my head. I hate you all.

Thanks; now I’ll be humming this all day. I was considering retaliating with “Horse With No Name,” but decided that would be too cruel.
