“As well as can be expected”

November 12, 2018November 12, 2018 by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Reading a post today: Someday by Billy Mac, Superman can’t find a phonebooth, I commented that I hoped he was feeling better, almost adding in jest, the quote above.

****

What does that even really mean? How do I know what they expect? How do they know what I expect? It’s certainly not anything you want to hear as a patient, or as the loved one of a patient.

I think Billy has a good sense of humor and anytime I think the blogger does, I try to comment in turn. But maybe I’m just over thinking this.

The quote is a weird, even ominous thing to hear, in my opinion. And if you know me at all, I’m just full of opinions and assume the right to express them here on my blog, hence, my opinions. So, Billy, I sincerely hope you are doing well, and much better than anyone expects. ; )

Raising himself as tall as possible over the Inkwood pulpit, the incorrigible preacher invoked his sermon to the congregation with his icily written offering. The interior of the church mostly comprised of iconic imagery, was inconsequential to most of the followers.

It was not their fault, having repeatedly heard the preacher’s threats, the words now inept and no longer impinged on their moral impurity. The drone of his speeches caused no injury to their conscience as they were now immune to his indicative advice.

He was no evangelist, causing an occasional ictus from a purloined parishioner, but speaking to a middle class muddled, and bored audience.

The days of old, horses were the first way a man could reach a destination faster than walking. Over 6000 years of history, the horse has proven to be a best friend to man, starting out with them being grouped, clubbed to death for meat over 50,000 years ago to them now being revered as a helpful animal that is well loved by most. To me horses are one of the most beautiful creatures on earth. They are sensitive, loving, protective and loyal animals. According to the Equine Heritage Institute, comparing the horse to the Iron Age, for example:

“Horse Eras

• Era of Consumption (50,000BC to present)

• Era of Utilization and Status (4000BC to 1900AD)

• Era of Herding (3500BC to present)

• Era of the Chariot (1700BC-400AD )

• Era of the Cavalry (700BC – 1942AD)

• Era of Agriculture (900AD – 1945AD)

• Era of the Carriage (1700AD-1920AD)

• Era of Leisure – (1900 to present)”

“Some of our images of the importance of the horse appear in early cave art in France and other parts of the world. The greatest preponderance of prehistoric horse cave art appeared between 15,000 and 12,000 BC, along with other images of deer, mammoths, bears, lions, wolves and foxes.”

A personal story of my grandfather: While bringing home a load of supplies in Montana with his draft horses pulling the wagon and his riding horse hitched on the back, there was a horrible lightning storm. My grandfather was struck and fell on the ground by the wagon. He remained there for days until a hunter on a cliff above spotted something dark on the ground by an abandoned horse drawn wagon. He investigated and found my grandfather, deceased. The horses had all stayed in their places.
