Last night as I was driving through Kansas City, with my hands shaking on the reigns, the clattering suddenly got worse, much worse. I stopped to see what was the matter, and found that Cecil had lost a shoe. It was schredded. So, I pulled way off the track, and had him pick up his front left foot, and tried to get the shoe off, but it was on there good. So I loosened up the nails and had him take a few steps, and tried again, and again,,,and eventually got it knocked loose. All the while, the other horses were galloping past in the dark and wet, only a few feet from where we stood. But, I got the little clubfoot shoe put on, got back onto the trail, and kept going. The reigns didn't shake as they had both legs of the journey, but there was a whine, so I had Cecil hold back a bit, and not go full tilt.
Today, on the way home from work, I stopped by the farrier and got newer shoes put on both of Cecil's front feet, which should make him better at stopping and turning, especially in wet weather. I put the little clubfoot shoe back in the saddle-bag, and went home---no whining or shaking!

TOBIAS!!! BUY A CAR!! COME HOME AND I'LL HELP YOU BUY A CAR!! SIMEON AND I CAN GO WITH YOU AT THANKS GIVING ( IF CECIL MAKES IT THIS FAR) WE ARE THE DESIGNATED FAMILY CAR BUYERS
on the other hand, why buy a new car when this one provides so many hours of entertainment.. cheap entertainment too. hmm, wonder what that noise is ? hmm, it is one and a half octaves higher than last weeks noise, nice counter-rhythm, dont you think? hmmm those various noises are getting rather symphonic, you know, there might be money in automotive rap.. and, hmmm wonder if i'll get home? maybe i'll get a nice walk on this starry night.. great way to meet people, lots of different kinds of people. helpful people who offer you a ride, greasy mechnics,kind tire salesmen, emt people who gather up the remains of people who change tires in the traffic, nice people who offer you a bed when you are walking cross country because your car wasnt planning on a trip that weekend,people who crawl out of the hiways and hedges and say 'man, i understand, i had a car like that once',(great evangelism opprotunities),people who crawl out of the hedges and say "gimme da car,or i gwine smack you upside da head an cut yo gizzard out" and when the car no longer actually runs you can use it for a coffee table, would be a great conversation starter..besides this would be considered a great car in 3/4 of the rest of the world..no one sitting on the roof with the gas can giving it an explosive I.V. with a dirty funnel and a garden hose.. so really, why does anyone think you need a new car?
