Dear Dr. Jill and Dr. John; I tip my hat to each and both of you in honor of your constant courage and stalwart presence in ever changing and challenging panoramas. At my venerable age, I continue to seek inspiration for living. Your standard keeps me putting one step in front of another. My admiration is sky-high, and I feel certain that a host of those who lead quieter lives feel as I do. My prayers go with you, near and far, here and there. AMEN

If Florida had mountains and fewer mosquitos it would be the perfect place on Earth - good people, ***great governance***, wonderful coastlines and beautiful horses.

My wife is from Ocala, and she says ..... oh, nvm, let's just say she says all places are different! And that the mosquitoes there aren't so bad, and that by Florida standards, they have mountains 😅

I hear the mosquitos are as big as chickens. 🤣

Amazing adventure, not the least of which is addressing the crowd at the medical summit banquet in Bullfighter attire!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, Robert. I love your other love--those beautiful horses. I've always been horse crazy as well. You and Jill are champs in several areas. It is good to hear about them both and so glad they both intersected at these events. Thank you for the rundown of your time in FL and I am very happy that the dangerous time with your three horses ended well. It does take nerves of steel in times like those. The horses know when they are in good hands. Those nerves of steel are also needed in the upcoming times as we fight for our Constitution and Republic. We must all show great courage as we stand to meet the enemy. It is so important that we communicate this courage and determination to our comrades and also to those who stand against us. Their stand is all about fear--and without substance. We absolutely have the truth moving with us in this evolutionary time.

It is as tho the Malone's story is a parable re: how to face and deal with very challenging times. Focused, with precisely appropriate actions dependent on experience and wisdom.

Whoever created that animal sculpture has real talent. Very well executed.

Dog: "You look nice, 'Roo."

Kangaroo: "Thank you. Now will you kindly remove your paw from my shoulder?"

Giraffe: "Tall glasses....thank goodness. Stooping down at the lake's edge gets awkward.

Zebra: "Why do you keep staring at me, Leo?"

Lion: "I'm hungry."

Koala: "I already know what I want. They have great eucalyptus here."

Rhino: "Hey Gorilla, why so glum?"

Gorilla: "I need to get some things off my chest. But not right now."

Hippo: "Any questions before we get started? You, Elephant."

Elephant: "Usually they put out peanuts. Can we get a server over here?"

We have made the trip from NH to FL twice a year for many years. This September we made the decision to become FL residents. Your trip reminds me of our many trips that were supposed to be 8-10 hour days that ended up over 14 hours because of congested roadways. The only time it was an easy trip was during the fake COVID scare when most of the drivers had their faces covered with the useless masks, and most just stayed in their homes with their useless masks.

Your adventure home can not be beat. OMG, can't imagine traveling with horses! Hope you both get a good rest now that you are safe at home. Totally enjoyed reading about your adventures.

This is an awesome story, as always, Drs. M! Thank you for sharing.

Here's some more exciting news to share with your readers. A team of expert and compassionate doctors and scientists whose names may be familiar -- Cole, McCullough, Moon, Wiseman, Parks, Thorp, and Tribble -- met with the Idaho Southwest District Health board today (7 members representing 6 counties in Idaho). The big names were backed by a medical freedom team who worked so hard to make this meeting come together and end with an amazing outcome.

*****

Southwest District Health (SWDH) Did the Right Thing! Following a 4-3 vote, the health district will no longer offer the Covid-19 shot to its residents 6 months and older! THIS IS HUGE!

These personal accounts by you are my favorite. Congrats to you and Jill for making it through such an ordeal. What a wonderful weekend in Florida. If it was your last long road trip with the horses it will be one to remember!

Or extremely hard to forget!

You both and the horses are recipients of God's blessing! A lot of folks praying for you, you know. So glad you made it through that ordeal which could have been so bad!

Now on a serious note, is there a get-together for cats where they learn that they're not in charge?

Expand full comment

There are cat shows. The ones I've attended have been peopled with mostly submissive cats. The rare objections were from being poked and flipped around by judges. Very rare for a judge to experience damaging repercussions.

Expand full comment

The judges would need to make house calls in our case. And they would be the judgees, not the judgers, but from afar, and stealthily. Pretty sure they would flunk the test, particularly if they had poking and flipping on their minds.

That's all it takes, a thought and the cat is bye bye.

Those submissive cats MUST be drugged...

Expand full comment

They were very closely overseen and they were multi day shows so I expect most of them, if any, were not drugged. They stayed in cages. Most cages were covered. Many had pillows. Their owners sat by them. There were were over 100 at the big shows. Likely many had experience with smaller, one day shows before.

VERRY funny!

There’s a cowboy video called “Hearding Cats” that you might like.

So grateful you made it home safely with your wonderful horses- trailer accidents is every horse owners nightmare. You clearly have a deep trusting relationship with your horses. I was able to attend the Summit and it was excellent. Really enjoyed your talk and was able to watch a few of the Iberian master class lessons on Friday but would have loved to see more. Especially Pedro Torres what a thrill for Jill !!!! Yes-the WEC is amazing. I had a chance to show there a few years ago and the whole place is an experience!!! I am fortunate to be just a few hours south and Ocala has been a horse show stop for years. Now ——-Praying for 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏

I so enjoyed your travelogue and very glad that the horses were cooperative on the trip home so that none were hurt. Jade truly is a remarkable horse!

What an adventure. You and Jill are amazing examples. Glad you are all safe and sound. I started to read several articles about modern/ugly art replacing true art. Apparently, it's another mind altering ploy.
