Letter from Florida Worth it all

at

Sept. 30, Ocala, Fla.:

7 a.m., not 7:02 or even a second past 7 would be acceptable for the professional trainers giving us responsibility for their horses’ lives. The first noticeable smell is the freshly mowed grass, and a hint of the lavender that roams in one of the fields the horses graze in. Everything I am required to wear is collared and tucked in, and by the end of the day dirty and worn. All 30 stalls must be cleaned within the first hour, alongside other aspiring equestrians.

It’s a Crime

at

Three weeks ago, I placed five signs at the intersection of Route 130 and Huddle Road in New Harbor. Four days ago, they were all stolen. Speculating as to who is behind this vandalism serves no purpose. The point is that it’s a crime, not a prank or a protest.
