Excerpt from article:

"Almost a quarter of this year’s US corn crop is expected to be turned into
fuel. Drought in Australia has added to the food prices spike, which is
feeding through to world inflation."

I swear to Gawd I'd be much happier if we went back to the horse and buggy
days.

I could not agree more. I bet those were much easier times to live.
Now we have cereal aisles with ten thousand different cereals. When I
was a kid there was Kellogs Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Shredded
Wheat and Farina! Well, more than that, but certainly not an aisle
full of postured, product placement. It's mind boggling.

I just got back from riding Jonsey. He hates the indoor ring but
it's just too wet to jump outside. Same old routine. He dances
around and plops a few big dollops and then tries to throw me. He is
definitely an outside boy. He has yet to emit any methane while I'm
gooming him but I'm not about to give him any ideas.

D'argo has always saved his best... er... ERUPTIONS... for the
farriers. He does it to be funny, I swear. It's his own personal
commentary on things. And he always has a look on his face like the
little boy who farts loudly in church -- totally embarrased but
obviously he couldn't control it, Mom. Really, it was just an
accident.

Jonsey was such a quiet, sweet fellow when I first started riding him.
Now he's full of the devil. Seems like right after I made the
decision to buy him, the spoiled child routine started. I suppose he
somehow senses he has a permanent, good family and wants the spoils
he's missed. He never looks embarrased when he does something
ungentlemanly like. He looks defiant Somehow I've got to get him
to realize he no longer has to race for his oats. Once he settles
down he can sail over fences like no other horse I've ever had but if
I don't warm him up first I find myself hurtling over fences at what
seems like 100mph.

I hope you're wearing a helmet, my friend.

The first time I popped a helmet I had to return it for a new one and write
a story about what had happened so they could study it. I settled for
drawing a cartoon of Evil D'argo (complete with tiny, devil, horse-horns)
laughing maniacally as he sucked in his gut and spun his saddle -- and me
-- off on steep slope. I think I may even have had bounce lines to show my
trajectory down the hillside.

the problem is, all carbon based fuels release CO2 when burned.

what we need is to break the hydrogen oxygen bond in water and then burn the hydrogen
back to water. plants do this, they use solar energy to knock the hydrogen off the
water, use the energy of the electrons to form a covalent bond (organic) that stores
the energy (using CO2). That is really clean energy.

Of course, that would work for me cause we already have the wagon

In our town horses are still considered transportation. I kid you
not.

Must be those of Swiss-German descent?

Hell no. These are Indiana born and raised for generations and
generations.


Several groups have come to our area as well. It's like really kinda
weird when met, like a step back in time.


Nope. It's just a small town in Indiana. I'm in the heart of town.
There's the post office, town hall, our only restaurant and four grain
silos. Oh, yeah, and the tornado siren. There are no stop signs/lights
on Main Street. I keep my horses in the heart of town and I can ride
them right to the door of the post office if I feel like it.

If you run across anyone named "Flora" in Indiana, they're
probably kin to me. My g.g. Uncle John Flora founded the
town of Flora, Indiana. My family back there is Mennonite.
(And Swiss-German.)

Grandpa Flora grew up horse farming back there. I come
by these tendencies to garden, farm and raise livestock
honestly : )

Cool. I'm not from Indiana and have only been here five year so I'll
have to look up where that is.

Not bad heritage, is it? I'm a farmer at heart but grew up in a city. I
keep trying to talk farmers into letting me run their heavy equipment
under the guise of "helping them" but, really, I just want to be a farmer
driving a big ol' John Deere.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but fossil fuel has been out of the
carbon cycle for a long time and is being reintroduced. Wood burned from
last year though is just going around and around in the carbon cycle. We
need to stop burning fossil fuel.

"HorseS" - plural? That sounds like it is the kind of town that
would only have one horse.

Well, two of them can fit in my Neon so maybe it's like a one and 2/3 horse
town...

What did they say when you sent the cartoon in? It does sound funny.
