Tuning up the Big Dawg
The Big Dawg is over at the Chevy dealer's for her tune up today. Which may include a new transmission. Ouch.
Sometimes I wonder what my ancestors (You know, those crazy Celts who fought the Romans), Francisco Vásquez de Coronado, or the early American pioneers, for that matter, might think
about how we horsemen and horsewomen in this century load up our horses and gear into a steel or aluminum trailer (often with a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops living quarters) and tow the whole shebang in a fossil-fuel guzzling truck for miles and miles to the wilderness to go riding?
I think that once they got over the initial shock, it would crack them up. The Celts might even snarl derisively─wimps. (I wouldn't put it past Coronado either.)
