Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 10, 2022

I can’t tell if this strip is meant to be funny or not.

Is there a horsie race in Olympics?

Isn’t good enough for what?

Even stronger: as a fellow boatbuilder once said: “Your best is never good enough”…‘you’ meaning everyone. Not exactly what the popular culture teaches today.

I think being good enough just to GET to the olympics at all is a big deal. Like GETTING to the Super Bowl even if you don’t win. Like running a marathon, even if you have to crawl to the finish line.

buy better equipment then try again. ;)

so, is Horace headed to the elevator…?

…if only politics would stay out of our lives, sports, schools, etc

I always try to do my best

Best is a variable and the older I get the lower the bar gets

Just because you have an American flag sewn on your outfit or you make a zillion dollars a year.. does not guarantee a win.

might not be enough for a medal, but it’s enough to count it as success

So subtle on so many levels. I’m glad Horace thinks about these things so I do not have to. :)

However, doing your worst is usually more than enough.

the agony of the feet!
