And, for me the picture reminds me of how hilarious Monty Python's Holy Grail is. Not sure why, though.

To quote the lyrics of a song by Malvina Reynolds that we use to sing at demonstrations in the 60's:
"It isn't nice to block the doorway
It isn't nice to go to jail,
There are nicer ways to do things,
But the nice ways always fail!"

Sometimes, you have to go places that you'd rather not to make a point...or, using another popular phrase, "what goes around comes around!"

Cajun,
Good ya got a kick out of it. I'm still looking...it's been a very long effort.
Anyway, I should probably put this in a pm to you but I almost got a good kick today as well. It wasn't the filly. She's very good and I think she realizes that, though we don't take any sh-t from her, she also realizes that we're not going to harm her.
But Boy oh Boy! The colt!!! He's such a nice looker but what a "head case".
Some colts are plain full of fear.
He'll probably come around in a while. He just might take longer.
Hope you're doing fine. Riding lately?

No, unfortunately not...

No time. Hopefully, things will change in that aspect soon and I'll be able to start again.

Glad to hear that things on your end are good. (Or at least it sounds like it.)

Yup, things are improving...finally. One day at a time.
hope you come up to Toga.
I'll meet up with the DTer's at the bbq.
Should be good.

That's a plan!
I look forward to this all year.
See you. You'll LOVE it!
And...to all the other DTers as well.
We should have some great money makers.

I always find Midsummer a little depressing because it reminds me the days are now growing shorter! And the wheel turns...

But, OK.

I shall follow your lead to "make a point" (not to be confused with hypocrisy).

My Plans for the Summer Solstice

An Essay by Bababooyee

For Summer Solstice 2007, I plan on pretending to be a Wiccan. In other words, I will spend all day playing "D&D for Chicks". Hopefully, I will be able to be the Dungeon Master. Regardless, the joy I will get wearing my cloak of infinite protection and rolling my 30-sided die will be amazing. Or maybe I will be nude. Then, I will wrap it up by placing a hex on those I don't like, eat some children and wash it all down with virgin blood. I just hope I can find some crystals that will make my broom fly, as well as some rat whiskers to spice of the child stew in my chauldron. I just have to remember to sharpen my boline because it hasn't been touched since Summer Solstice 2006!

LOL!!! My only critique is that that would be funnier if it had some degree of accuracy...use skyclad not nude, hex?, brooms, demonic stuff all too far off base to be humorous.

Somer,
Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is handfasting. I know what fasting is, but is handfasting the same thing or something related to the wiccan religion.

Handfasting is the Wiccan equal of marriage, in the past, it would last for one year where upon the couple could then renew or separate; today, most couples see it as a permanent union.

Yes, you were...when I first started studying Wicca, that exact thought came to me...LOL!
