Thanks so much, John. Great story! I hadn't even thought that they'd be using mules to pack in supplies after the hurricane, but it certainly makes sense for those areas inaccessible to vehicles. Some people don't realize this, but mules can go places that horses can't go. They're amazing animals...but of course, I'm a little biased.

Have a listen......
... to the song "Heavy Horses" from Jethro Tull's album by the same name.

No Mules, but two things we bought when we moved to South Florida in the '70s were, an Enduro motorcycle and an 18' Canoe.
No Canoe now, just a Rowboat with mast/sail and four Kayaks.
I never lend my Chainsaw, just Bowsaws.
I'll cut our neighbors fallen trees a bit and give them a bowsaw.
Nothing quite like the eye of a Hurricane over the neighborhood.
Long ago a small Tornado, jumped over the back wooden fence, house and two boats in the front yard, touched down and tore up the under construction houses across the street.
Ya just look up and say thanks.
