Such a hard life.
It is that….
Are you sure it’s just over the next dune?! Picture two, Caleb says: “I ain’t going no further!!!!”

Laughing. I’ve HAD ENOUGH!
As a young guy, I worked on a ranch as a summer job between semesters at the university. The Arabian horse “assigned ” to me was old enough he figured it was not his job to cut cattle or carry a heavy lump around all day. At some point miles from his stable, he’d go on strike, forcing me to walk alongside him. One day, I noticed a biting fly (“those delta wing bastards”) on Niran the horse’s neck. I slapped and killed the fly. From that time on, Niran let me ride all day! I note camels are cousins to horses and Mahmoud probably failed to prove he had a value recognized by his camel, so… Yes! He’s “afoot” till he figures it out! I say to Mahmoud, “Know thy camel!”
Incredible story Doug. Thanks for sharing. What memories.
That was some summer!
I bet it was….
I got to hold a mare’s reins while she was bred, too, quite an eye opener for this city kid! (Yuck!)
Laughing.
