Almost perfect weather here in Kentucky today. Took the opportunity to go out to the Kentucky Horse Park just north of Lexington and check out all the horses there, including all of this years new colts. They are all just so cute with there inquisitive ears and impossibly long legs. Several of them were racing each other, showing off that speed which they are so famous for. Unfortunately my camera battery decided to die on me this morning and I had forgotten that the spare is in the bag at the trailer still. Just where it was left after recharging it the last time.

    Went and found the location of the dance that starts tomorrow night. It was exciting to see that the 'contra dance' signs were already up and pointing the way into the parking lot. Really looking forward to the dance starting, it just feels like I have not been getting out and getting enough exercise these past few weeks. Which probably means that I haven't been, duh!

   One nice thing today is that I found a 'Chipotle' restaurant to eat dinner at this evening. It was down town near the University of Kentucky campus and it's medical center. I know it's not real Mexican food, but compared to what I have tried lately, it is miles ahead of the pack. At least they don't use Velveeta in any of their dishes. I mean come on.... it may be okay for nachos in front of the TV while watching football, but never in real Mexican food. Besides; it isn't even 'real' food is it? I mean they even call it a 'cheese product'.... what does that even mean really?  ;-)

    A beautiful evening here along the banks of the Kentucky River. The RV park here has this pet doe deer that comes down every evening to wander around the park and get petted. There is even a little old guy who is a long term camper here that brushes her every morning and evening just like you would a dog. Kind of fun, kind of sad, but I have to admit it's pretty unique.

   Going to finish up the 2nd disc of the mini series 'Centenial' tonight. Never saw it when it first came out, but have read the book 3 times over the years. Have always enjoyed Michener's books except for a few of the very last ones where it became apparent that he had signed a multi book deal and was writing at that point just for the paycheck. What else could explain writing a 300 year saga and spending 230 pages on the 1st 200 years and then the last 20 pages on the last 100. Oh well, he did write some wonderful books and I'll always be grateful for the hours of pleasure that such tomes as 'Hawaii', 'Chesapeak' and 'Tales from the South Pacific gave me.
