Waffle Horse

[tinhuvielartanis]

Besides seeing a huge influx of motorcycles and mopeds on the roads, another mode of transportation has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity in these here parts: equine mobility! Horses have become so popular, as a matter of fact, hitching posts are popping up hither and yon. One such post can be found at the Waffle House on Highway 29 between Lyman (a town near Duncan) and Spartanburg. On our way back from Dr. Pilch's office yesterday, I stopped to do a fashion shoot for the horses hitched there.







Now I'd feel better about this if there were a drinking trough at the hitching post. I didn't see any feed bags around either. And it'd be dandy if the hitching post were located in a shadier spot. This is, after all, the Armpit of Hell in July. A little shelter from that yellow ball of terror in our skies is the least these horses' people could provide for them after the horses hauled their round primate arses over for some scattered, smothered, and covered spuds. Vigilance needs to be the byword of any animal rights advocate in these times when our fellow Earthlings are exploited by us humans in our quest to get from here to there without having to spend half a pay check for fossil fuel.

That's one that distresses me about the SM Stirling books ~ his detailed description of the horses' injuries and deaths at the hands of their human enslavers. I know that's the Way of the World, but that's why I'm keen on us humans going the way of the dinosaur.

Most humans anyways...

As long as one of us exists, there's always that danger of producing more hairless shitheads with delusions of godhood. I say it's best that we all get taken out by the Terrifying Squeegee of God ™.

Yup I'm sure the Alpaca Lips will come in soon, but I would like to get at least the weekend in first ;)
