A picture, but not of the winner.

Novices easily can rent an ass to try it out for kicks.

But they shouldn't envy the other guys' better ones.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass" is from Exodus 20:17. The tenth of the Ten Commandments 📖

I guess it would also apply to envying Riley Roberts about AOC.

Renting an ass can get you in trouble in a lot of states.

They have the triple crown in Colorado. Fairplay, Buena Vista and Leadville. In Leadville the race is during Boom Days.

They used to run over Mosquito pass into Fairplay and called it the , “Get your ass over the pass”, race.

Boom days is a hoot if you can go visit. I believe its the first weekend in August.

I asked Grok to "draw an image of a democrat donkey in a desert burro race being beaten with a stick by a voter / runner."

Here is its attempt! It's so good I had to share it...

From a book I still haven’t put out on my grandfather, Jack Bell, a prospector and newspaper writer. So hard to wait for some of his pieces to go out of copyright. Includes a picture of my father on grandfather’s burro, Baldy.

“Novices easily can rent an ass to try it out for kicks.”

I did that once when I was young.

Life changing to say the least.

If not abused, they are wonderful companions; tough, smart, and incredibly strong. Very interesting animals, and much smarter and more observant than most people give them credit for.
