Hi Cal
I've never seen a goat big enough for me - a small-built woman - to ride, never mind a hunking great man.
However, if Bobcat is a Freemason then I have to say that I have utter respect and admiration for Freemasonry.
My late father was the District Grand Chaplain of the Eastern Archipelago. When he died, Kinta Lodge asked if they could have his regalia for their museum. Mum was too distressed to part with it, so I agreed with the Lodge Secretary that Elaine and I will return the regalia once Mum has passed on. He said he quite understood and didn't mind waiting.
My late Bank Manager was a Freemason. So is my accountant.
Nobody has ever told me what it is about but I have seen them do some fantastically GOOD work. Kinta Lodge is in Ipoh, Malaysia. I remember Dad muttering about a local child who needed an eye-operation that could only be done in Russia, apparently.
Dad and the others got together and raised the money to send the child and his parents to Russia, plus paid for the treatment and the accommodation for them all.
An old dear who I know in the UK (and adore) has sadly gone gaga. I gather from her daughter that Ruby has developed senile dementia. She was a complete danger to herself in her house in Hamble, near Southampton. I walked into her kitchen and there was so much food lying around that was totally past its sell by date that I hid the lot in the back of the freezer. My chum John took a much firmer line when I told him about the food. He went round and binned it to prevent Ruby from trying to eat any of it.
.
The situation really was potentially dangerous but Ruby's son is a Freemason. He got her into a Care Home run by the Masons. They are looking after her wonderfully well. Her sense of reality won't return because something has gone wrong in her brain.
But she is in VERY safe hands, so please let us not mock Freemasonry because they do some damned fine work.
Cheers
Gill
