How about just going with a horse?

Mike,

That remark fired a memory. I have some great stories and all I had to do was been there and then remember them. (That is getting tougher.)

This is from when I was "the kid" aka ferret in a shipyard when we lived on the east coast.

At a break of some nature, the real ship builders were sitting around and talking about the cars that they had owned. All those famous makers like Essex, Pope and Nathan. They were talking about the repairs they had made on the road. I won't even go there now, because that was too much to absorb. During a lull, I looked up (this brilliant ~10yo) an asked if those cars were so hard to keep going, how did they ever take over from horses??

One of the really old guys, probably in his 40s, looked at me and shook his head a little and replied, "You never put up with a horse, did yah kid??"
