Ah, July.
Month of fun. Month of sun. Month of eternal boredom.
You've got to get out of this rut. You hoof it to what you thought
was the used car lot. Lot no more- the guy in charge tells you; he's
shutting down- everything has to go. Everything, that is, consisting
of a VW Westphalia van and a horse. Miffed by the sight of the horse,
and doubtful of the van's capability, you ponder the choices.
