Well, Cameron, Sue just reminded me that we will be in Columbus for
a wedding in May. Now, it wouldn't be much bother to hook up the
stock trailer. We can only spare one horse, but how many sheep and
chickens do you think you would need for our controlled experiment?
I'm not a scientist, I only play one on the web, but you are the
real deal, so you should be in charge of our controlled experiment.
As a bonus, you get your lawn mowed for free. Of course, don't
forget lamb chops and fresh ingredients for haggis.
The horse will be happy to provide environmentally friendly
transportation.
Get back to us and we can work out the logistics. Hopefully, this
5' of snow will be gone by then.
