Episode 312: Giddiness and the Uses of Road Apples

Terrastina buys a truckload of manure from a horse ranch a few miles out of town. She and Mazolli spend the afternoon folding the manure into the garden’s soil. When they are finished they are tired, dirty, sweaty, and buoyant. That was a lot of fun, says Mazolli, and now I’m all pooped out. Yup, says Terrastina, nothing like slinging piles of shit to make a person’s day complete. Don’t give me that crap, says Mazolli, grinning like a fool. Terrastina tries to keep from laughing, but fails miserably. We really are a couple of old fools, she says.
