    Awsum, I'm sending healing-quick vibes to Bo. I'm sure he'll be happier when he can get home again.

    I'm sending hatching vibes, and yes, we do want pics.

    I like this one, too. It shows to me how you have made an oasis out of the desert.

    I think the amount of exertion it expends is dependent on the gait. You don't exert yourself much at a walk, but at a trot or canter, maybe that's so. Once upon a time, I had a list of how many calories various horse activities burned. It included things like mucking out a stall and grooming, as...

    Lizzie, your pictures are amazing. I can't believe that dark blue truck could actually climb over the rusty one. Today, I told Deb that I don't want to lease Maija anymore. I'm not getting much joy out of it, and it's expensive. I guess I'm just not ready yet to get back into horses. This is...

    I tutored again today, and last time, I noticed that the girl had really bad mosquito bites. They still haven't healed, and by coincidence, since a while ago she had asked what hives were, I had something today for her to read about them. Reading it, we both came to the conclusion that she's...

    That's great that you are teaching someone about horses! It'll be more fun for you, too, to have someone to work with, with the horses. I can't imagine how you can handle the heat you have with no AC in your truck! I sure hope you can get it soon.

    Lizzie, I thought the girl was 7, but recently found out she's 8, and I thought the boy was 10, but maybe because I got the girl's age wrong, he might actually be 11. Next fall, the girl will be going into 3rd grade and the boy into 5th, so you can probably guess what their ages are. I really...

    That's why I thought they should learn bout Islam, so that the extreme aspect isn't all they know about. I did mention that not all Moslems feel like that, that many just practice their religion peacefully. I do worry a bit about telling them about the harsher aspects of this world, but they...

    Hi, guys. Yes, I rode Saturday, but Sunday started to get really hot here, too, and Bill was home from work, so I spent the day here. I may go to the barn tomorrow, though I think it's still going to be very hot. I can't function when it gets to about 90º. Right now, I'm sitting in my office in...

    I remember that, going from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay on the bus for a job. With a bus putting you so much higher, it's sort of scary, too, but not as much as those curving roads just north of SF.

    Uh-oh! You'll be in a state of anxiety for a good part of the way. See if you can figure out how to get over that fear, or you won't be able to enjoy the trip. The most precipitous parts are in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, so I'd recommend leaving Rt. 1 for 101 till you...

    I did, and we came south to SF that way. It was a gogeous drive but be aware that there are places in the road where there's a mountain on one side and a sheer drop to the ocean on the other that can be sort of scary, so drive the curves carefully. How far north are you going? When we arrived at...

    When I had a wood stove for a short while, I bought firewood. It was still cheaper than propane.

    Lizzie, you asked when my next tutoring session is, and I did one today. Every Mon., Wed., and Fri. The kids have been itchy lately, but today, they were good. I guess they got it out of their system before I arrived, because the little girl was in tears because her older brother snatched the...

    Lizzie, I'm glad you caught on to that hay before you bought it. I had a dressage lesson yesterday, and the instructor, who was very good and made me ride better, which I'm sure Maija appreciated, told me Maija looked sort of ouchy in front, so I think she'll need shoes in front, even for the...

    I don't care all that much what they want to call Pluto. It's there, whatever it is, though it probably is worthwhile trying to find out about it. Awsum, you said just what I thought: some scientists want to focus on planets, and others on diseases. What really matters is where the money goes...

    You got me thinking about those albums, and one is now on CD, and I just ordered it. The other, I saw some time ago as a vinyl record for sale, but now, nothing. I have it on cassette tape, but that's going to wear out, if it hasn't already. It's an album called Guitar Extraordinary, by Vincente...

    Well, there are a few record albums I've had that they haven't made into CDs that I'd like to buy and then have transferred to CD, but as you say, they aren't a priority.

    There are companies that do this, though it might be worth investing in the equipment if you have a lot of them you want to transfer.
