THING OF BEAUTY

One week into the New Year I figure it's time for at least a modicum of good news, this after  just hearing the grating voice of AOC punctuating the airways with her ignorance.  This after our local mayor want his new police chief to "exceed community expectations of public safety."  Duh.  He reads copy well.  This as now I hear more and more and more " f......"  over the radio, knowing "f..."  is the modern word for acceptable, civil language.  Anyway, here's my candidate for a thing of beauty that will last forever according to genius poet John Keats.  I can look forward to twelve months of admiring Gypsy Vanner horses on my 2019 calendar.   They are spirit-raising poetry-in motion if you watch them on a U-tube video. Search it!

The outside of a horse, Ronald Reagan said, is good for the inside of a man ( and woman). If a vision of  power encased in a glowing coat and flowing mane and tail glory leaves you cold perhaps a skateboard, a touchdown throw, a mountain climb, a fast drive, a molded naked body or a McDonald's Big Mac turns you on.  Go for it.  Go for that modicum of pleasure.  Relish.  Too much immersion in reality will bum you out.
