Another Presidential election is approaching.

Time to let the one from 4 years past go.

One might think.

Talk about beating a dead horse.

There are some who continue to beat it.

There must be a cemetery for dead horses, but you wouldn’t know it.

Some dead horses appear to live on.

Horses have gotten a bad rap, IMHO, in our vernacular.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Stop beating a dead horse.

Etc. (insert your own favorite saying about a horse).

My wife had a horse once, when we lived on horse property.

The happiest day in her life was when she got that horse.

The happiest day in mine?

When I got a Honda XL-175.

You thought you knew what I was going to write, didn’t you?

Haha.

I did think of it, but thought better of it.

I really did enjoy the motorcycle.

Even if its hot tailpipe burned my calf once when I laid it down.

I didn’t have any vet bills with the Honda.
