🐴 The Pega Donkey – Brazil’s Hidden Powerhouse 🇧🇷

This isn’t your everyday farmyard donkey. The Pega Donkey (or Jumento Pega) is a rare Brazilian breed that breaks every stereotype you’ve ever had about donkeys. Strong, fast, and incredibly smart — these animals are more like athletes than farmhands.

They move with a smooth, rhythmic gait that rivals fine horse breeds, gliding across the ground with elegance and stamina. In fact, many compare their temperament, endurance, and athletic ability to top-class horses — only with the heart of a true worker.

The breed’s origins go back to Brazil’s colonial days, when local donkeys were crossed with Spanish and Portuguese bloodlines to create the perfect long-distance companion — an animal tough enough for heat, hills, and hard work, yet refined enough to ride in style.

Today, the Pega Donkey stands as a living piece of history — loyal, tireless, and proud. You might not see them thundering down the track at Aintree anytime soon, but one look at a Pega in motion… and you’ll understand why Brazil treasures them.

They were born side by side in the dust of San Saba, two boys with the same jawline and a shared love for trouble. But war split them down the spine. Tom rode with the Rangers, Charlie with a gang that made its living off the same land they’d once hunted rabbits on. Bloodlines don’t break easy, though. When word came that Charlie had been gut-shot on a raid gone wrong, Tom didn’t hesitate. He rode into gunfire, found his twin bleeding out beneath a cottonwood, and lifted him like they were boys again, half barefoot, half wild.

Through three rivers and twelve miles of mesquite thorns, Tom carried him—whispering the old creek songs, ignoring the way Charlie’s breaths grew thin. He didn’t beg him to live. They both knew better. Charlie died under a bruised Texas sky, but not before giving up the names. The men who’d led the raid. The men who’d turned his brother into a hunted ghost. Tom buried him there in the sand, no preacher, no hymn—just one badge and a vow sharp as barbed wire.

Then he rode. Not for justice, not for law. For blood. For the river they’d once fished in, for the nights they’d shared a single blanket. They said he hunted those names like a storm hunts the plains—slow at first, then sudden and merciless. By the time spring came, those men were whispers, their camps cold, their saddles empty. Tom Durant kept wearing the badge, but from that night on, no one mistook him for a lawman. He was a twin without a shadow, and the trail never forgot.

Remember when you are hauling you precious cargo. Drive safely everyone 🐴

November 3rd: Daylight Saving Time ends.
You get an extra hour of sleep. I get killed on the highway.
Here's why:
When clocks "fall back," your evening commute happens at dusk—exactly when deer are most active.
The Facts:

Deer-vehicle collisions SPIKE 300% the week after DST ends
October-November = deer mating season (bucks are distracted, reckless)
1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions per year in the US
200 human deaths, 26,000 injuries annually
$10 billion in vehicle damage

Why this happens:

Deer move at dawn and dusk (crepuscular)
Your commute suddenly overlaps with their active hours
Rutting bucks chase does across roads without looking
You're driving in the dark, going too fast

What YOU can do:

Slow down at dusk (5-7 PM in November)
If you see one deer, expect 5 more (they travel in groups)
Don't swerve—brake firmly and stay in your lane
High beams in rural areas (see reflective eyes sooner)

I don't want to die. You don't want a totaled car.
Slow. Down.
