I don't know any horses.
I know some people that horse around, and some people who are hoarse.
But just sose ya know...
Today is the day of latest sunrise
Summer less than 6 months away, which is < 1% of my life, so relatively speaking, summer is almost here
Well as my first act of 2020 I had KK busted by 76o
So I've off to Squamish to visit my Mum and my brother
I've learned when one does exercises is worth to execute them VERY slow. Better than many fast repetitions.
For example, I could do about 15 push ups in a normal tempo, now that I slowed down it's 3 and I can't do another.
Apparently is the way to go.
NY is over, I sense withdrawal symptoms..
Unfortunately I have no creative recipes or meals due to stomach flu. 
Had just soup for dinner. 
I find that student loans are a form of indentured servitude.
Before such loans were available, those of us who didn't have rich parents worked summer jobs in our teens to save up for first year.
University here went September to April, so you had 4 months to earn (barely) enough to make it through the next year.
If you didn't quite make it, you could work a part-time job during the school year.
Now, the well-paying jobs we could get in the summer are gone.
In place are low-paying "internships".
So students borrow against future earnings, and hope that there will be future earnings.
I have always been an excellent student but I had to leave school at the age of 16 and go to work because my family was going through a very bad economic moment.So I have been working since 1979 and even in Italy there were no problems finding work.But since we entered the Euro it's not like that anymore, finding work for a young man is difficult ...... ah how nice when there was the Italian Lira !!!
In the '60s a person at at 16 could earn less than minimum wage.
The logic was that 16-year old people don't have well-developed skills yet, so the discounted wage was called a "training wage"
At 17 earned a bit more, and from 18 on, a person earning minimum wage got the full amount.
This system gave employers a good reason to hire inexperienced teenagers, and save some money. It also gave those teens experience and taught them the ways of the working world.
I worked in the electrical department of a mine. I learned a tremendous amount about industrial electrical operations, but more importantly how to follow instructions and get along with co-workers.
I also learned that I wasn't as smart as I thought I was.!
In today's world, teens basically get to work in fast-food joints and learn next to nothing
Finally, I can eat almost normal food after the stomach flu! 
Had ostriche steaks and green beans! 
Today I even invented a new word. Because I'm like that.
