Odd.

I drove out to the people's house who own the horse to drop off some produce they'd left behind at the bountiful basket pickup site today, and I saw the horse, still in her paddock. I thought she'd be long gone by now, what with 'winter' having already hit a few times (ie, it snowed). I don't know what the deal is, and I'm not going to ask. If, for some reason, I end up having the $$ to buy her before they actually, physically ship her off, I may still ask to buy her. But why get my hopes up. I'll just keep my head down and my nose out of it until that check shows up. Then I'll reconsider it.
