Labor Day
My best recall of them old times...the period right prior to the start of school...this thing called Labor Day...a true last dash of freedom...ha ha...as there were no breaks from this time, until Thanksgiving...you who think that teaching is easy...it is stressful, probably more now than ever...the point, Horse?...my last day I would spend at the Oregon State Fair...walk around and get a scone or two...and then, go out to the ponies...yes, back then, they had them...
For sure, it was the lowest level of competition for the horses...made no diff to me...they were and are, the finest animals...to watch them run, is truly incredible...this was my last getaway....
To honor that memory, Boss and I went out to DelMar to do the same as in the past...to do them ponies...the remarkable difference?...these colts, fillies, and mares...are the cream of the crop...we got some top notch seats in the Club House...
Unfortunately, we were misinformed as to the dress code...I wore long pants and a sports coat....egads, in 85* heat, to boot...thing is, it wasn't needed...as all around us, were lads and blokes in shorts and tees...feeling much more comfortable than I...but, the area we were in...was rad...BTW, we had the most bodacious burger (smash burger) that we have EVER eaten...
Well, lost $40 and I call that a success...if you lose...
