I figure mules has to go back to logging, or maybe it's part of their horticulture heritage.
Or maybe they were too stubborn to move to a good place to live.
In the fall there they use to have signs in front of the football players houses that declare "Home of a Mule". Well up the East Valley there was this big black mule. He had a pretty nice barn/shed along the road. I always wanted to go take down a bunch of those "Home of a Mule" signs and put them all up on that mule's barn. After all that barn was the home of a mule. Do it right before the Naselle game. They would think the Naselle kids did it which would stir up the rivalry.
