Helping

Helping out some poor dude who ran out of gas in ABQ.  He had no money a dead battery and seemed very sad. Anyway I bought a gas can and some gas and left him there waiting for his wife to bring some jumper cables. The cops pushed his car off the road and left him there. I wonder how it turned out.

No sound on youtube. Guess I will have to deal with live people today

feeling good

I remember about a year ago I had a day where I had no aches or pains worked a whole day felt great all day and ran a few miles at the end. I told my friend that I would like to feel that way every day. He did not actually laugh at me but I got the feeling he thought I was being a little optimistic. I have not felt that good since. Today feels like it mat=y have a chance,of course it is only eleven am

Turns out my new house used to belong to my young sons classmate.Really brings home the tragedy of the economic collapse

shocking experience

Sunday morning at 9  I arrive at my clients house to shoe Sven and his new barn buddy. I get out of the car and say hi to the horse the head back to get my gear. I hear a strange sound and turn to look. Sven is on the ground having a fit. I run to the house and get Sven's person's husband. When we get to the barn Sven is sitting up whinnying. By the time husband gets back to the house the horse is dead.
The group of us are in shock and few days later I seem to still be unsettled by the sudden passing of an Equine acquaintance. 

Small town

I am in the midst of moving and buying a house and getting a friendly divorce. My friend Allessandra owns a small tile company and volunteered her husband Steve to redo the ruined counters in my new house. She is making the tile for this project and giving them as a housewarming present.
 Funny thing her assistant who is getting paid to help make tiles is my wife. So Allessandra is paying my wife to make tiles that she is then going to give to me.
  Small towns eh?

good samaritan?

I was driving to Taos to shoe some horses when I saw a broke down vehicle with a person waiting for help. After a brief struggle between helping somebody in need and being on time I slowed to pull a U turn and see if I could help. As I pulled over the driver behind slowed in time and stopped to help. As I pulled back on to the road I had one of those little irrational thought/feelings that make me laugh at myself. " I hope they notice that I pulled over" Do I get karma credit for almost helping? Why did I think that person would even know who I was.  Well at least if they noticed that not only one but two persons slowed to help they may have a littl bump in faith in fellow humans.
 Of course the pessimist would say that the other "good samaritan" was more likely a serial killer looking for their next victim
