Friend of the Journal Jamie Ashdon snapped this photo of two urban ungulates chillin' near Ampt Skate Shop in Arcata today.

Not sure how the fuel economy stacks up against Arcata's bevy of alterna-transport like buses, electric cars, bikes and skateboards — or if it's worth facing that slew of traffic on horseback (hopefully the ethos to the north extends that far south). Emissions are a whole 'nother story.

And they're not even the only hoofed animals making the rounds of that university town lately.
