Pony Expression

This Ain’t No One-Horse Town

When gas prices hit $4 a gallon, the staff at Dr. Keith Leonard's dental office in Arlington, Washington, figured it was time to pony up. Since more than half of the dental assistants and office staff own horses, they saddled up and rode in to work last week. City officials granted them a special permit to ride as a group.

FOOTNOTE: Saddle-day night fever.

I guess that is the environmentally friendly way to do it, can't say I can see it coming back in a wholesale manner just at the moment though!

I continue to be in awe of the workings of your mind! "Saddle-day night fever" indeed!

I'm just glad it wasn't the workforce at the local McDonald's.
