For sure they never ran on poly crap.
And I've never grilled a equi-steak. No recipe and absolutely no taste for it.
But the folks that painted their beautiful representations on those cave ceilings certainly did.
And, here, all the time...we thought it was really about clicking some numbers to our on-line betting account or passing some green paper through a window.
Times have changed!
The art remains.

Miniature Fjord ponies...Eohippus was super small...only 12 inches! I'm going back into geek mode. I would actually love to see the real fossils of one put together even though I've seen many pictures. Four toes on the front foot...three on the hind foot...super short neck. To think that THAT evolved into the modern day horse. That is, if you believe in evolution.
I liked the jab at polytrack. BTW, Eohippus inhabited the swamplands and forests in ancient times...58 million years ago to be exact. Nope, no polytrack.
Geek mode...off.
