Yesterday was a picture perfect fall day. We warmed up to about 68 degrees and the sun was shining. Sounds like a great day for a run, most days do to me anyway.

As I was running around Mountain Lake in Moran State Park I got to thinking about the donkey girls. Here are a few of my thoughts:

• Why don't they smile more? They look like their heads are really weighing them down.
• Why are they always hungry? They seem to have a little extra around the middle they could live off of.
• They don't hurry...ever...one speed and one speed only.

• How can they poop so much? Two donkeys can make as much poop as all of the alpaca combined in a day. Who knew?
• What do they do all day? When the alpaca are standing around they chew their cud. Donkeys don't have a cud. Maybe gum is in order.
• Why don't they he-haw more? It is one of the best sounds in the world.
