Re: [RC] equine ear plugs - Born Country

Okay, just had to jump in here.  A few years ago, this subject came up among 
the members of our local posse, of which I am one.  One of the events we 
participate in is the Fraternal Order of Police March which commemorates all 
officers fallen in the line of duty.  During the ceremony, there is a 21 gun 
salute.  Now it would be bad enough in an open space, but this salute takes 
place in a courtyard surrounded on all 4 sides by tall buildings.  Can we say 
loud and echoey?  The idea of earplugs came up and our captain at the time, an 
old-timer with some ingenious fixes, told about using tampons as earplugs in 
some of the events he had been involved in.  Of course, the posse, being mainly 
comprised of ladies, began giggling and commenting about the horses shaking 
their heads, the "ear plugs" flying and the general conversation went downhill 
from there.  <sigh>  Yep, ear plugs.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves -  
strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us  
escape from our mundane existence.
