    “I know. I know. Seal the capsule and start the cryo-stasis.”

    A hiss of gases, then sudden shocking cold.

    “Sleep well, Adam. Sleep well, Eve.”

This proposal was never about horse welfare but about political paybacks to a buddy who backed DeBlasio’s election.  Once you realize that, it all makes a lot of sense (although you still need a shower after being anywhere near Bill DeBlasio).
