The greys are not the favored color in this breed. In the purebred
shows, I think the chestnut color is the most favored, followed by
black, bay and the seal brown. But the dapple grey is my favorite.
We don't participate in the shows---just trail ride whenever the
chance arises.
Actually...
Here's my pearl. Her color reminded me of a black pearl.
She's 4 yrs old in this photo. She's the only horse I have
ever found that I could ride 6+ hours and not have an aching back or knee. The cadillac ride - purebred Peruvian Paso.
I've been told that the dapple grey will eventually...
Viewpoint: We are facing a severe survival test
By Joe Baker, Senior Editor Back
This is the winter of our discontent and also of our discomfort. Our wake up call has arrived. U.S. News, in a recent article analyzing the energy outlook, predicts the next several months will test our...
Well, here's a fearless prediction: The "final" withdrawal of us troops
will only be to the Kurdish controlled areas in the North. That is where
more of the land has not been surveyed for oil production. The
south areas (Iranian influenced) has been extensively explored.
The Kurds have already...

THE ROVING EYE
We vote, then we throw you out
By Pepe Escobar
First, a quick look at the environment ahead of Thursday's elections in Iraq. Political assassinations, party headquarters burned, abductions (all largely unreported by Western corporate media). A former...
tax cuts, that is, for capital gains and dividends.....here's a couple
of cartoons that sum up the fact that our middle class seems to
be disappearing & the usa is looking more and more like a 3d
world country of rich&poor with little inbetween. :(
We are sure hungry for greenery around here. Our normal rain for
the year is a little over 20 inches...and we are about 10 inches short
this year. It's very very tough on pasture,bushes,trees,etc to go
into such cold weather with the soil dry down past the subsoil.
Our chill factor was more...
Excerpt from commentary discussing our troop withdrawal &
the reasons for it:
--------------------------------
What emerges here is not fleeting disenchantment, but a coherent and hard-nosed critique of Bush's strategy. The administration's fundamental problem is not that the public is...
I have been reading a discussion board of energy and petro
traders/investors since 1998. In the first few years, 99% of
the discussion was about investments, energy-insider stuff,etc.
Since 2001 more and more emphasis has been on the concept
of "peak oil", i.e. the depletion of fossil fuels...
I'm wondering how it would feel if we had a "grandchildren" category
and no one voted for my grandchild. Logically, it should not matter;
but..............
Well, it would not matter---we are all grown-ups; right????
The year/rain sure does make a difference. Here's a photo of a 10 yr
old registered cow, Petunia. In the average(read:dry) year she will
weigh about1150 to 1250. The year this picture was taken we had a
nice summer; seemed like it rained an inch or so every 3 weeks.
She weighed 1385...see the...
