Sorry, I didn't think he sounded very nice talkin' about me having an
entire horse up my butt. I said from the start that what I did
probably wasn't a good idea. I'm glad I did it, though. If I hadn't
my Jeep would be torn up right now. Instead it's just fine and so am
I. No thigh bones poking through my ribs, no hip gone, etc, etc.
