Comment by Daniel Walter on October 26, 2019 at 6:41am: Thank you Jerry. Yes, mojo, karma, history. I think I remember when UJ turned her into a reso. In the cold. Don't know if I'm correct. Lots going on. Here she is back in Iowa:

Comment by Jerry Jordan on October 25, 2019 at 11:03pm: Nice pic,, lucky you,,,, UJ rides again,,,. Lots of mojo there

Comment by Daniel Walter on October 25, 2019 at 10:46am: thank you sir. pics are my priority. (except all my socks have holes.) I do think that photo says a lot. Nice work. Solid like your door. i'll supply a horseshoe.

i also think UPS put Blacky in a box car. I can walk three short blocks and spit on the train tracks.
