Filler

For the most part, I find it easy to stick to a daily blogging schedule.  However, there are some days when I'm just too busy, too tired, too blue, too something to write a real post.  On those occasions, I find myself debating the relative merits of skipping a day vs. publishing a marginal "filler" type post.

Today, I decided to go with filler.

Here are some scans of one of my most dog-eared issues of Just About Horses magazine.  This particular edition (Volume XI, Number Four, published in 1985) contained several short articles that really captured my imagination.  I especially liked the photo tour of Toll Free Farm.

You know, I am forty three years old, and I still want to own this stable! 

The On The Road... with MJW series was another favorite.  I remember poring over the pictures and dreaming of my future showstring.

See, that cantering palomino with the Western saddle?  I spent hours obsessing over her.  

1980's era Just About Horses often featured a lot of fiction, and this issue is no exception.  Most of the stories weren't particularly good, but I always liked this one.

After all, who wouldn't want to buy an amazing custom from a street vendor in New York City?

Well, that's it for today.  Tomorrow I'll write a real post.  Or not.
