The company literally started with a machine that worked by hand.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

It’s amazing how fast I can move in 45° weather in a T-shirt and underwear when the dog wakes me up and one of the horses is crying

Everybody is OK but the neighbor, Miss Tulsa, was worried cause she couldn’t see my two horses

I’m gonna go in and go back to my warm bed now

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

I found a somewhat local class that I’ll be taking on November 8 as a follow up.
And then they do open studio time which is 50 hours for I think maybe a couple hours.

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.
