RE: Packing Horses
I reckin' I qualify, ' cept fer the communicashun part. I don' t like talkin' to people much. Mules is smarter than mos' , an' twict as innerestin' . They can be real quiet til you git to know ' em though. But even so, you fly me an' my horse down ther fer the season, pay me $5,000 a month american money, give me my own cabin, weekly laundry service, an' I' ll show those wet-nosed college refuges how to pack a proper mule. We can dazzle ' em with a double diamond to make ' em think they' re gettin' their money' s worth, or we can teach ' em a box hitch they can throw in 2 minutes by their lonesome for 99.99% of their loads. I' ll teach ' em to shoe too, long as you ain' t got draft crosses.
