Awareness of the outside world. Let the future begin. I am blue. This is known. Politics aside, I think this is brilliant messaging. It emphasizes the pivot from a contest between two old men. [Life in Alabama, Being a Bad Blue Dot In A Really Red State]

In the end, we came to the same conclusion about the hay as the commenters. [Alfalfa Strike]
We tossed the hay the horses refused rather than asking Milton to eat it over time or hand it over to another barn. It was probably okay. Probably. Maybe.
While you hate to see hay used to line muddy paths, a sick horse would be infinitely worse.
Not worth the risk.
Onwards!
