Drive-Thru on a Horse

Yesterday, while driving through a neighborhood, I debated with my wife, the significance of a horse being ridden down the road in front of us. I claimed that as our society evolves and technology becomes more prevalent, seeing people riding horses in public places will become legend. Our children's children will think it laughable that one would use an animal as transportation. Sure, there will always be cowboys, circuses and zoos to keep the horse culture alive, but the thought of purposely riding a horse will elude most of us.

The day of horses continued. On the drive home, which was 25 miles or so, we saw one of the greatest things ever. In line at the drive-thru liquor and cellphone store was a man on a horse. The fact that this store is uniquely odd, at best, is another story. A man on a horse waiting in a line of cars is a wonderful sight. My wife and I yelled encouragement out the car window as we laughed our asses off. It was truly great.
