Her daddy once said, “Well, you’ve just got to get behind the mule in the morning and plow,” though she knew he got that from somewhere else, some old blues singer, perhaps, she couldn’t help but see the logic in it, doing what you’ve got to do even if it’s not something you exactly want to do, some things are bigger than yourself, so just get out there and do what you’ve got to do, she could respect that, but Pam knew when it was time to leave the mule behind, and when to try and find a new one.
