Having been on a horse for an hour, I can't imagine
spending much of a couple days of my life on a mule.

Connie and I did the Molokai mule ride the year before it washed out. Long

I understand it's rebuilt - not a particular reason
for rushing back to Molokai (though I did like the
island and the B&B we were staying in).

trip down, all you can do is hang on and let the mule go, it won't pay any attention to you anyhow (sort of like a selfdriving car except it tends to almost trip over rocks), hang around long enough to stiffen up, and

even longer

You're not being a terrific salesperson for
the trip.

trip back up. The next day or two weren't exactly thrilling either.

Given you

eyesight I would expect the "view" from muleback to be less than stellar.

I'm good at making vistas into impressionist
mush; certainly that would be preferable to
seeing the abyss to be met if the mule
actually did trip over the rocks. A quick
search yields tinyurl.com/w00psy, in which
some tourists heading to the leper colony
were injured on that trail.

I'm having a tough time finding dried posole here for some reason.

That's peculiar, but then maybe te Havasu residents
are too white bread for that sort of thing,

Fried hominy mush
categories: starch
yield: 1 batch

hominy
water
salt
fat for frying
brown sugar syrup (opt)

Pour one part hominy slowly into four parts boiling,
salted water, stir until it thickens and then cook
slowly in a double boiler for three hours or more,
or overnight in a fireless cooker. Pour the boiled
hominy into a deep, greased pan until it is 3 in or
more in depth. The next day, turn the mixture out of
the pan and slice 1/2 in thick and brown both sides
in a hot, greased pan. Brown sugar syrup can also be
made to accompany the hominy. If desired, melt 2 c
brown sugar with 1c hot water; boil 5 mins and cool.

I was thinking more along the lines of your view over the ears of your mule.

Dunno. I went to WallyWorld, Food City, Safeway, Smiths, Albertson, Bashas and
the little Carniceria. All with no joy. Although the Carniceria sells it premade over the weekend. I've been living on bananas and Roma maters...both almost weekly on sale at 3lbs for 99cents. Almost bought some pork roast at 97cents a pound today, packaging amount put me off.

Erk!
