…he base to make sure it is evenly placed within the shape of the base. Slowly and gently begin to press the horse head into the base, driving the wooden sticks into the base as you go. Once the bottom of the horse head has reached the surface of the base and is lying as flush as possible, fill every opening between the base and the head with hot glue.

When you’re constantly marginalized by the upper-crust Socs (pronounced so-sihez) on the other side of the tracks, sometimes a little humor is just what’s needed to get through a bad situation.
