The Very Last Photo
What’s the last photo on your phone? Is it a meme? Is it a photo you asked someone to take, while the other participants grumbled, snarling about how they don’t like their picture taken? But you just went along ignoring their comments and poking them to smile and doing what you do? Are you the…

If A Broom Can Stand On Its Own, You can Accomplish Anything
Recently my Facebook feed was clogged with photos of brooms standing on their own. Just a bunch of photos. No explanation.

Don’t Make My Mistake: Thank A Farmer
Today was National Farmer’s Day. I only saw one post on social media about it. None of the horse pages I follow mentioned it. Not even the feed stores I follow posted anything about it.
