Didn't know what to write, until I stepped in a pile of either cat puke, cat poo, or a dead animal, on the porch. So that's what I'll write while I wash my heel in the bathtub.
Since Blue Bayou is mentioned here, now is a good time for a confession. A month or so ago a regular non-commenter here had written that she needed to up her wardrobe game at work so she didn’t dress like Roy Orbison. I replied that Roy Orbison had a line a button down casual shirts under the brand Blue Bayou.
This is a completely made up notion. I had considered editing the not-a-comment to say I was joking but did not. I got a few upvotes for it but some guilt remains because I contributed to the disinformation waste stream we navigate every day.
In my movie short mind, I have a clip of someone in a bar or around a dinner table eloquating Cliff Clavin style
I'm in Central Indiana at a horse show. It's full of white people and their giant trucks, trailers and RVs. The small town where they're having the show is halfway between Booth Tarkington country and those towns with. struggling RV factories that Obama helped after the 2010 Republican lead recession decimated their way of life.
They never forgave him for that.
The show is held at the county park that was built back in the heyday of landscape architecture. There are 3 lakes, several buildings that seem to date from the WPA, four different veterans memorials, each from a different War and all these beautiful giant vistas created with 100 ft tulip trees and elms. I get the impression there's no regular
money invested in the place.
The roads are shit. The horse facility is pretty nice. It's taken care of by a local Horseman's Council, whatever that is.
We like coming to shows here. I don't show, my wife does. I have brought horses that I'm training to drive. (Pull a carriage- I don't know why they call it that. Why, I'd get in trouble if I let the horses drive) It's a good chance to get your horse used to other people. Dogs. Strange horses and Baptists.
Like that.
We bring our dogs - they love it.Dogs really love RV's. That's what your dog really wants- to live right on top of you in a small room. They love horse shows. Everybody here has dogs. I'm sure mine think that this is Paradise. So many great things to pee on so many different piles of poop to smell.i will take good pictures.
I used to go to a combined driving show at the Firestone Winery on the central California Coast in Los Olivos. I can drive a bit but try not to do more than a pair because I don't like trying to keep track of all of the different ways that can all go wrong. My one claim to fame was a 2 minute drive of the Budweiser Clydesdales. Back in the olden days they had several different teams and the West Coast team was out in the middle of nowhere in Perris CA. I got to sit with the driver and he let me "drive" them about 100 yards at a walk in a straight line.
I just got what I'm afraid will be my last horse out of training to drive. He was formally a national champion Paint my wife had. Dumbass horse (redundant) was rolling around on his back in his stall and torn his meniscus, bad.
The vets had no hope. He was too good a friend to put down. He stood around for a year, the we started walking him .Around and around the riding arena, then around and around a large outdoor arena. Then around and around the pasture. After 2 and a half years he 's got his trot back
He's huge- 17 1/2 hands. He's got the most beautiful trot. That's all he can do. He refuses to lope and I'm fine with that. He just spent two months at the trainers.
He does fine indoors. First time outside he saw some mares and made a beeline. He was hitched up - I had ahold of his bridle and was walking him out. He saw the mares and dragged me 100 feet.
Things went wrong. I was hoping to bring him to this show, instead we're back to square one..
I don't ride. My wife does all of that. I started repairing and rebuilding carts. Buggies and carriages 25 years ago. I did quite a bit of it at point.
I have been intending to put all my adventures in carriage building into a substack . I just postponed my retirement when
My current horse is a 17 hand warmblood. He's my old person horse because when he gets scared or nervous he freezes. Apparently he thinks if he doesn't move no one can see him. He's very wrong about that but he has the nicest gaits of any horse I've ever ridden so that's an added plus. He could be trained to drive but I'm over the expense of driving. My husband used to repair and rebuild for me but he got annoyed at the damage my mare did because she didn't have much of a stop on her at any point riding or driving so I eventually gave up the driving.
While there aren't any emoji with which to articulate immediate sentiments regarding Wonkette posts I have at least and at last sussed out how to "Like" the aforementioned posts.

Robyn never let us know who that fabulous dog is, and who is it's human.
Depressing to hear folks in the gym rave about that Caviezel movie. They really fell for the lies. Makes me uneasy at the gym since I'm Jewish...
"Different Drum" is one of my top favorite songs, especially because I just have a thing for baroque pop. Praises to Linda!
(Bonus points to Mike Nesmith post The Monkees for the writing credit.)
Are there any more Linda-Phoebe songs, because that's awesome.
In July of 1978 we saw hometown girl Linda Ronstadt sing "Tumbling Dice" with the Rolling Stones at the Tucson Community Center.
Try a different take here with posting a video.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRDKlQx_Pm0">salsa version of Iron Man</a>
Well, so much that that kinda coding, though the link works.
Robyn, that guy looks like my Boogie like you look like Phoebe!
Linda Ronstadt's appearance on The Muppet Show is a classic.
Did I do it? I think I did it!

Editing is hard now, I suppose, but to finish, I can picture someone repeating my nonsense with surety.

Would make sense.

That does sound like some version of Paradise!
My favorite Linda Ronstadt songs are "When Will I Be Loved?" and "Blue Bayou." And I STILL love that woman. She was too good for Jerry Brown.
"Friends, wonkers, non-commenters,
Lend me your clams.
I come to bury Disqus,
Not to praise it..."
Only if the clams are canned.
Are we gonna have a cadaver synod for disqus?
Ah ha!

I finally figure something out, go WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!and immediately forget how I did it. But, I know I can, and will manage again.
I just figured how to get a face in here next up to get my old name back.
You can emoji! If you are on a PC, hit the windows button on your keyboard at the same time as the period key.
I shall have to give that a whirl.
Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?
