Miscellaneous

This is a superb photo. You're unable to see the horses, you say, Maggs. Forget the horses. Look at the nice view of the snow!
You can see better if you left click these from this morning's workout, and as just a bit of self pity,thought I'd post what the old man has been running through chasing these horses.

"Hard retrieving, nauseous doing"

And, yes, that is steam coming off that horse on the right after the workout, which is Exhibit A of the RR effort to get 'em running this morning. And, as further complaint I'll note that's it's a bit difficult in the best of conditions to be running full tilt yourself snapping photos, much less through this much snow and deep grass. The old face was frozen solid by the time we were done. It must have been around 13 degrees.

That huge cold airmass covering every inch of Siberia that I noticed in late December seems to have blown this way. And, OMG 67 degrees below zero in Siberia couple of days ago. That's cold even for them. Guess we should be thankful for our -2 except I'm wondering where that -67 is heading.

On other fronts in the misc. category, RR has finally reached late 1998 in My Life by Bill Clinton. Monika Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, and a sorry bunch of totally worthless jackals named Ken Starr, Henry Hyde, Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay. Gingrich had resigned before the Articles of Impeachment came out of the lame duck house, but, he admitted "we did it, because we could." Oh, and if you want to find out why you'd never vote for a Clinton, read the book.
Luckily, our good Republicans have put on a heck of a slate of presidential candidates, and I'd be amazed and unhappy if they lose.

Back to injuries and training shortly, with what we're sincerely hoping will be something to report training wise here at the farm.
