Yes, we had blacksmiths, too, I know they didn't wear safety goggles in the early 19th C, but I guess OSHA insists. Also, the blacksmith did point out that the log was not the proper surface to work on, being unsteady. We learned that horse's shoes had to be replaced every couple of months--and they had special shoes for winter, with cleat sort of attachments. And that it's much easier to shoe a horse than an ox.
From Loretta:
I have no idea why the type came out so tiny. Was it feeling shy around those burly blacksmiths?

Obviously Blogger has undergone some serious transmutation, as IT now WORKS--it remembers my data.
So you probably need to check your font settings, as it may have reverted to default.
