Musings
Jim can create just about anything from iron, but he doesn’t shoe
horses. He says, “Once upon a time there was a blacksmith in every
town and the blacksmith spent most of his time shoeing horses. When I
get requests for horseshoeing, I tell people that the only horse shoeing
I do is when I say, "Shoo! Shoo, horses! Go away!” |
