Say a prayer for Solon. This afternoon he decided to ride a horse. With his limited riding skills disaster loomed. I witnessed the whole event so please bear with me as I write this epic. He mounted the horse unassisted and the horse immediately sprang into motion. It galloped along at a steady and cadenced pace, but our hero slipped from the saddle. In terror, he grabbed for the horse's neck, but could not get a firm grip. He tried to throw his arms around his mounts neck but continued to slide down the horse. The horse continued to gallop along, seemingly ignorant of its slipping rider. Finally, giving up his frail grip, Solon attempted to leap away from the horse and throw himself to safety. Unfortunately his little foot became entangled in the stirrup and he is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves and his head is struck against the ground over and over again. As his head is battered against the ground, he is mere moments away from death when to his great fortune, Monty the Wal-Mart greeter rushes to his aid and unplugs Lightning! Three cheers for Monty!!!
