new challange.... AOL IS NOT WORKING-- I USUALLY GO THRU ALL MY MAIL BEFORE I WRITE THIS--- HOWEVER... I AM NOT SURE THIS WILL WORK--FYI... THIS MAILING IS DONE BY CONSTANT CONTACT-- WHICH MAILS OUT BULK EMAILS-- AFTER SORTING ALL LISTS FOR NO DUPLICATES AND GIVES PEOPLE THE OPTION OF UNSUBSCRIBING IN A VERY LEGAL FASHION SO YOU SOMETIMES HAVE TO GET PERMISSION TO PUT PEOPLE BACK ON THE LIST-- TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME.....I JUST WRITE THE THING... IT ALSO GIVES ME DATA ABOUT HOW MANY OPEN THE EMAIL ETC.. ETC...
I DID MANAGE TO READ ONE BEFORE IT QUIT... HEYDAWG - IN MAINE IS GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS AND IS DOING WELL EXCEPT FOR A FEW CREAKS AND GROANS- DON'T WE ALL--
FARM NEWS? APPARENTLYWE HAVE A NEW MULE ON PROPERTY... JANINE DROPPED OFF ?LEROY? BECAUSE HE WAS JUMPNG HER 4' FENCING HE IS NOW BEHIND OUR 4' FENCING AND WE ARE HOLDING OUR BREATH.... WE DO HAVE A 6' PERIMITER FENCE-- BUT HE MAY HAVE JUMPED INTO THE AREA WHERE MO IS... SOMETIMES MULES CONSIDER A FENCE JUST A SLIGHT INCONVENIENCE...
HISTORICALLY----IF YOU WERE WANDERING AROUND IN THE WOODS, AND CAME TO A WIRE FENCE, YOU GOT OFF YOUR MULE, AND HUNG YOUR JACKET OVER TEH WIRE FENCE, SO THE MULE COUDL SEE IT BETTER....THEN ASKED YOUR MULE TO JUMP IT. FROM A STAND STILL... AND THEY DID... YOU THEN CLIMBED BACK ON AND WENT ON YOUR WAY...
THERE IS A MODERN VERSION OF MULE JUMPING ( WHICH I THINK CAN BE GOOGLED)
WE MAY GET TO KNOW ALOT ABOUT MULES SINCE JANINE DID BUY THAT 17 HAND MULE - WHICH SHE HOPEFULLY WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO RIDE...
MO IS PROBABLY 17 HANDS... BUT MO IS A DRAFT MULE HEFTY CHUNK FOR PULLING HEAVY OBJECTS SLOWLY....-- I THIN K THE ONE JANINE HS BOUGHT IS A RIDING TYPE... WE SOON WILL SEE...
WELL WE WON'T NECESSARILY SEE SOON... I THINK SHE IS GOING TO LAND IT OVER AT "ANN'S HOUSE" I HOPE ANN KNOWS THAT ALREADY BEFOIRE READING ABOUT IT HERE....I AM SURE WE WILL GET TO SEE IT SOMEHOW... 17 HANDS IS B--I--G ( 4 INCHES TO THE HAND... MEASURED STRAIGHT UP ALONG THE FRONT LEG TO THE WHITHERS.. I KNOW SHE HAS HER EYE ON THE HUNT FIELD NEXT THANKSGIVING........IF SHE DOES NOT GET EXPELLED...
I KNOW HORSES ARE TERRIFIED OF DONKEYS UNTIL THEY GET USED TO THEM... IF ANY OF THOSE OTHER "HUNT" RIDERS HAVE THAT PROBLEM , JANINIE WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE....
THE HUNT SCENE FROM THE MOVIE "MAME" WITH LUCILE BALL COMES TO MIND....
****
NOW TO GO BACK TO TRYING TO GET AOL TO WORK.....
