...but Troop's earlier post that included the word "Rocinante" got me to thinking about a movie I saw last year. Rocinante was Don Quixote's horse and, like a lot of us, he was a hard worker who kept on keeping on. Back in June I went to a nearby film festival and saw a movie entitled "Donkeyote". It too, was a simple tale of a man and his quadruped sidekicks who go on a journey that might be described by an outsider as being quixotic. It was very entertaining and not even a bit topical nor political - just a nice story with a couple of laughs, it has a donkey, a dog, a man, his wife and very few other humans. What could be better, right? Well, I enjoyed it.
Springtime in my backyard.
I will resist the urge to cut and paste any music from Man of La Mancha, that is too clichéd even for me. Rather I shall attach some music from here in the Flatt lands. It kind of relates to one crucial scene in the movie.

Spain. I walk with a woman who walked the entire 500 miles of it a couple of years ago. She is serious about her walking. Muy seriouso. In fact, last year she set a goal of walking 2017 miles in 2017. She made it with days and miles to spare. That works out to an average of a bit over 5-1/2 miles a day. I didn't even make it half that far.
