I was certainly glad he'd taken a precautionary pitchfork; apparently the bull wasn't all that willing to be driven. I'd have been very scared - I mean, once you're facing an impatient bull, better to drive it ahead of you than retreat and risk it following, so I'd have done the same as the Sage, but very anxiously.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-90450746391448070952009-06-18T18:03:22.900+01:002009-06-18T18:03:22.900+01:00Just reading your posts makes me tired!
