One wonderful thing to have on hand is a baby stroller. My sister got me a beat up one for a couple of dollars at a yard sale. We pushed that sucker around among the ponies, and then left it for them to investigate on their own. The donkey finally picked it up and carried it around! Even the most experienced driving horses will get alarmed over baby strollers being pushed up under their noses so that the children can pet them. Trust me on that!

George Orwell, 1936 Orwell accomplished something few authors have been able to do: he added his name to the English language. Yet a man and his work are inseparable: before he was George Orwell he was Eric Blair; respect him -- remember discreetly his 100th birthday, 25 June 2003, and handle gently his little grain of dust.
