Now there might be a slight conflict here whether or not the horse or the jockey were actually responsible for the win or if it was a team effort, you see the jockey was Calvin Borel onboard Rachel Alexandra the filly who won, the first filly to win in over eighty years, and he is the same jockey who won the Kentucky Derby on the winner, Mine That Bird, which he chose not to ride in this race. Amazing again!
As I write tonight we are getting some sloppy rainy, much needed rainy weather here.
So why should I complain, well, we seem to get the occasional electrical outage when we get these uppity thunderstorms. But of course we need this rain bad, and slowly things are greening up here, very slowly. Since we don’t know if we may have an outage I will have to hurry with my writing tonight.
The veggie garden is going through a whole bunch of transformations; its actual appearance is still in flux. My hubby is not happy with his first configurations and he is trying hard to get as much as possible out of the side-yard real-estate portion of our property that it will be on. We have many packets of seeds and need quite a bit of room, and these seeds were purchased long before our hospital stays so that is why the delay in planting. Although, gardening is considered a very healthful practice it is also strenuous when you’re not in top shape and the thermometer is heading toward triple digits.
I think it is great that our First Lady, Michelle Obama will be the keynote speaker for a college with a small student body of only 2700 in California; the kids are over the top with her agreeing to do it!
When I mentioned all those automobile dealerships’ closings I neglected to discuss our latest sad layoffs from our city office in our tax assessors office, it was decided in order to make up the 165K loss of monies in that department that they would be laying off eleven employees, which mean that there salaries were 15K I am sure that the head of that department probably more than likely makes a six digit salary, why couldn’t she take a cut to save some of those jobs? I wonder. Those people need their jobs I’m sure to make ends meet.
On that insightful note I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
