Over the Fence

     Yesterday I almost bought a horse.  The owner had logical reasons for parting with him.  The cost, lack  of time, the cost, lack of time etc.  However logic doesn't always apply to horse ownership.  Most of us do it for illogical reasons that can't be explained to  someone like Mr. Spock.  In uncertain times when we worry about so much maybe it's just nice to be around something that truly lives in the present and only demands "I want my carrot --NOW!  Anyway the ending, happy or not, is that the owner decided to keep the critter for the best of illogical reasons--She loves him.
