    You tell me...wouldn't YOU have thought you were losing your mind seeing this in front of you on the street? ;)

    In my town, it's VERY common to see horse trailers being towed. Ergo, I expectedto see a HORSE in that trailer and not an Alpaca, which is what I finally realized it was!

    Was on my way home from the grocery store, and pulled up behind the trailer. I was stunned for a moment, thinking dementia had finally won the battle! When I realized that it was, in fact, real, and I wasn't just having a mega-senior-moment, you should have seen me scrambling for my phone so I could take the shot before they pulled away and I had to turn! As it was I almost didn't make it.....they were already on the move again when I managed to snap the image! :stew2:

    Good photo! We have alpacas, llamas, and even some Watusi cattle around here.
    The only time I really thought I was having hallucinations is when the big cattle trailer went by with a rhino in it. Honestly, it was a full-grown rhino! There is a "wild animal" park near Kerrville, and they were getting a rhino.
    Where do you buy a rhino? I know Walmart doesn't carry them, and I haven't seen them on Craigslist, either . . . .

    eBay. Definitely eBay. You can buy ANYTHING there.

    A potato that looks like a .... well, I don't know if I can use the word here....a man's private parts. Complete with photo. And, yes, it actually does, if you're interested!

    A human hand in a jar.

    A haunted tablecloth.

    A painting, on velvet, of Admiral Ackbar.

    Really, is a rhino that far fetched?

    (and where the heck is a facepalm smiley when you need one!)

    I did a double take when I first saw one of these in a horse box too Ronni so you're not alone. Nowadays they've become a regular sight travelling from place to place. Some farmers seem to prefer them to keeping sheep.

    I haven't yet seen a Rhino in a trailer, but I have seen on a trailer, an uncovered jumbo jet jet engine heading south on the 405.
