Wed. Misc.

"...and if I could find my ease there crawling,
at alien shades my flesh would rear.
Thorn in my side, encumbrance galling;
Oh, were I far away from here."

--Goethe

Nice bright day quickly tempered. Bob Jones Shoes fails any more to carry the Alan Edmonds dress shoes that I bought there for 30 years and need for my big trial tomorrow. Then, on the way back to the office 4 Senegalese Muslim women in full shawl regalia with their 10 children traipsing through downtown KC like they owned the place.

Oft overlooked in the fear of Mexican illegal immigration are the numbers steaming from other third world venues. You go to an immigration ceremony these days at the Federal Court House that they hold twice a month--95% Carribean or African Black or Muslim with generally one or two Caucasian looking sorts in the bunch. Stands to reason since the entire INS is minority these days. So, do you vote Democrat, the party of these sorts that is promoting third world takeover of the USA? Badly needed imho and greatest present political opportuunity-- a group of intelligent moderate majority sorts to recapture the Republican party from the right wing religio nuts before it's too late for the country.

Training:
Sun. 5/29: Off. Weather.
Mon. 5/30: riderless paddock play much of it at speed + light tack work.
Tue. 5/31 Good news tonight the horse was straight and true without looking around for trouble through 4 x 4f trot under tack in the paddock. Mr. Nob wanted to solidify his foot to horse contact a little more become commencing speed work this week. The horse is so wide that Nob's legs literally spread eagle at the inner thigh cranked apart as far as they'll go giving a feeling similar to being on one of those medieval torture racks where they pry you apart. The horse was much more comfortable than the rider, which is good as far as it goes. Good weather coming and we hope to have our first true speed heats in the next 7 days.

My opinion: We've already been taken over (from within - by both parties - each peddling it's own brand of the same product - a strange blend of authoritarianism, fascism, & corporatism), and worse yet, it's probably too late. What we once had, or thought we had (a constitutional republic) is gone, and it doesn't appear to be coming back any time soon.

I say that with sadness, but also with the hope that I am wrong.

Chinese proverb: "If you do not change direction you will end up where you are headed."

I don't see any sign that indicates we (as a nation) are even remotely close to considering changing direction, let alone actually changing direction.

Oddly, I do feel that things will ultimately get better, but not before they get a whole hell of a lot worse first.

Just my two-cents.
