OT: Group of Kentucky students take horses to school as solution to high gas prices

The Times of London in 1894 predicted that by 1950 every street in the city would be 9 feet deep in horse manure. I believe technology will prevail and oil will be the manure of this century. Here is the “From Horse Power to Horsepower” article link:

I don’t know why they didn’t think of bicycles, mopeds or scooters before resorting to animal power. Even at $10 per gallon, with a moped or scooter getting 100+ MPG, a 10 mile ride to school costs only a buck. I think a veterinarian’s bill for the animal can set them off badly in comparison!

The reality is that riding the horse likely costs them nothing. These kids are all members of the FFA. So, there’s a good bet that they already owned the horses, already had to feed them, and need to regularly ride the horses anyway.

So riding the horses to school is essentially free. I spent most of my life in a town where a good percentage of the population uses horses as their sole means of transportation (e.g., there are places for people to tie their horse at the local grocery stores, etc.)

What these kids are doing makes a lot of sense. Free leisurely transportation to school that is also fun. However, it really isn’t possible in most of San Diego where people don’t have barns.

i ride a bike. I am hoping for $10 a gallon gas. Or higher. We need to get something different going.

Drink Heavily.
