Both you and your mount need more
Maybe so, but I really like the idea of one hand on the reins! I never claimed to be a Cavalryman!

so, the kid in Florida who was suspended from school because of a picture of him holding an AR15, with his finger NOT on the trigger doesn't count ?
or the kindergartener who bit his poptart and then pointed it at another child ........ ?????
Getting suspended from school is a lot different than getting arrested!

A man with two guns is bound to carry one in each hand. I do...sometimes.
Not when you’re on horseback, I need my right hand for the reins! 😂

Oh....I've really wanted to do this:
THAT'S AI!!!!!!
That's true of the 16th century English, who saw almost everything exotic as Turkish. It doesn't explain why most of Europe calls it some form of "Indian Chicken."
Chatgbt says this…….
Why “Indian” chicken?
When European explorers first reached the Americas, many of them believed they had reached the Indies (a term Europeans used for South and Southeast Asia).
Because of that:
- They called Indigenous Americans “Indians.”
- Animals and plants from the New World were often labeled as coming from India or the Indies.
So when Europeans encountered the wild turkey in North America, they assumed it was a bird from the Indies, and named it accordingly.

Here what chatgbt has to say,
- In the 1500s, Europeans were already familiar with a bird called the “Guinea fowl.”
- Guinea fowl were imported to Europe through Turkish (Ottoman) trade routes, so people called them “turkey fowl” or “turkey birds.”
- When Europeans later encountered the American wild turkey, they mistakenly believed it was a type of turkey fowl because it looked similar to the Guinea fowl.
- So the new American bird inherited the old name, and it stuck: “turkey.

Like why is the Bison called Buffalo.
Well they’re actually two different animals
Why the confusion?
When early European settlers saw bison, they mistakenly called them “buffalo,” and the name stuck in American culture. That’s why we say “buffalo nickel” or “Buffalo, NY.”
- Bison = North America, hump, shaggy fur.
- Buffalo = Africa/Asia, no hump, big horns.

The report I saw on Fox moments ago stated the female guardsman is not expected to live.
"Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members shot in the nation's capital on Wednesday, suffered a mortal wound and is not likely to recover, her father told The New York Times on Thursday.
"I'm holding her hand right now," Gary Beckstrom told the outlet in a phone interview. "She has a mortal wound. It's not going to be a recovery.""
Prayers continuing for her and her family.
How sad! She volunteered so that others could be with their family for Thanksgiving! She’s an angel 😇
