Today is Horseless Carriage Day. When I used to see Amish neighbors driving in the winter in their open buggies, it made me really appreciate my personal 'horseless carriage.' I have had several cars over the years and I've liked them all. Interestingly, today is also National Mule Appreciation Day. I can understand that. In the early days of horseless carriage operation, it was probably wise to keep a mule around to pull your HC out of ditches and other muddy situations. Sadly, a good mule is never very handy these days (at least in my neighborhood) so now we have to rely on tow trucks. Convenient but dull.
