The fear of the rut looms like a giant chicken over the worm-farm of life. We fall into a rut and at first, everything seems great. Stability is achieved. Then, one day, we look around and see that the walls of the rut have become steep and treacherous. The longer we stay in the rut, the harder it is to climb out of the rut. Only through great effort can we even see out of the rut and sometimes, the walls close together over our heads so that we're no longer in a rut but rather a tunnel, leading in an ever deepening spiral. With that being said, there is also great allure to the rut. We always know, for the most part, what will show up...more rut. It's usually safer and can be very enjoyable. A lot of people like it. A lot of people like coconut, too.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. Please put a penny in the old man's hat. If you haven't got a penny, a hay-penny will do. If you haven't got a hay-penny, then God bless you.
