donkey in the desert

This picture reminded me of something I had totally forgotten. I was in college, home for the summer, and I went to the lake with the Cunninghams (who were always nice enough to take us boat-less families out every now and then). We were leaving the lake on the curvy, windy road, and we came around the bend and almost hit this Donkey! It was walking along the side of the road in the middle of the desert in no hurry, going nowhere. I found this picture and this is almost exactly what it looked like. You gotta love the Arizona desert.
