Roberta, do you have a Derby favorite? Mine was Orb, but I haven't looked today to see if he was hurt when he reacted to some big noise yesterday..

I'll see if I can find that Derby horses slide show I saw.

Not the slide show I saw (was it yesterday?) but another one..
I still like Orb and now add Palace Malice (for the name and his toothiness).

@ossobuco,
I've my life-savings of $2 on Revolutionary. My friend downstairs went to the local OTB venue and a bunch of us put our $2 on Revolutionary to win. I overheard a reliable insider tip that this horse has velvet-lined horseshoes.

osso, Thanks for the two great pics. I don't pick favorites unless I'm there. Gotta get the right vibes. I've been very successful at the track. A lot less so sitting at home. Run, bubbelehs, run.

There's Orb, the winner, racing fast on a sloppy track -

@Ragman,
Ragman, C'est la vie re your life savings. And why would velvet-lined horseshoes be an advantage? Especially in the mud.

osso, Congrats re Orb.

edgar, Dat kid is too much. And talk about your laid-back pigs. Hey pig, there's a goat on your back! Tres cute. Thanks.

@hingehead,
rosborne, The jellyfish are spectacular. Very other-worldly. Thanks mucho.

vonny, Beautiful seal. As I look at the jellyfish and the seal, I'm fascinated by the shapes life on this planet takes. Thanks, kid.

HH, Speaking of shapes, two doozies. And amazing colors as well. Gracias.

Twice I responded to the squirrel and the dogs, the lion in the tree, and the green beings. And twice my computer ate what I said. Assume I said something nice.

@cicerone imposter,
I had one die on the NY thread (saying I liked the trip planning going on), figured it was a bump situation, but it never did show up. Not a key comment, and I put it down to my not clicking reply. But, if anything, I click reply on A2K too automatically, so that might not be it. It might have been the Stealth Sloth in action (SEE TOP OF THIS PAGE).

Newly promoted Staff Sgt. Jason Cartwright looks at his K9 counterpart, Isaac, who was promoted to sergeant first class at Camp Nathan Smith, Afghanistan, May 1. Though they do not officially hold a rank, promoting a dog remains an upheld tradition within the K9 community....
