To some that word is electric.
To some it is a question mark.
To others it signifies endurance.
To some it implies cruelty.
To some it is a winter break in an isolated life.
To some it is money.
To some it is another pin to collect.
To some it is a real nightmare.
To some it is life threatening.
To some it is no big deal, their venue has a 'better' race by some measure.
To some it is sleep deprivation.
To some it is months and months of planning.
To some it is unfathomably difficult to imagine.
To some it is a mystery.
What all agree this morning is that another one is over for the winner.
What they all agree is that there is still a week or so to go for many.
What it is, is Dog Racing of the most severe.
Congratulations to Lance Mackey of Fairbanks.
and especially, congratulations to his dogs.

The fare was for sure paid and the freight hauled by the dogs for this one.

Green

What did you expect?

Environmental stuff?
Saint Patrick's stuff?
Photos of New Mexico?
Photos of Alaska?
A trip to the greenhouse?
Gardening discussion?


Sorry, I have only two things to say about green.
Nuts, three.

Happy St Patty's Day!

Drink green beer at least once today.

What's up with the NY Times?
Not a single front page headliine about St Patrick's Day.

No fare, as I only drive to pubs, saloons and bars today. So I will be back to pick you up when you call, and then I will collect because you will be full of Blarney.

Personal interests

I often wonder how some people came to be TV watchers and some are activity doers, and some are computer addicts and some are bar, tavern, saloon or club people.
I admire them all, however I cannot help but wonder from what each may be fleeing.

I wonder about myself the most of course and have decided that everyone has in their persona a ‘Nerd” that drives them to be a certain distortion of the real person they know they are.

If everyone would just go; (Yes I have a destination in mind for all of you) If they would just go take a strong, honest, blinders off, personally safe, private, critical and admiring look via a SERIOUS self examination and evaluation.

I think we would have more artists of quality, more health, more smiling, more satisfaction, more secure perceptions, more responsibility, more fulfillment, more acceptance, more beauty, more sharing, more realization that we can be everything we want of and for ourselves and not give a hoot about what we think others think of us in our real skin.

Have you ever done something to please someone else, and at the same time displeased yourself?

Have you ever bought a dress (Do women still wear dresses?) that you knew was just to look better for a specific other woman in some sort of personal fashion war?

Have you ever worn Khakis for someone else when you wanted to wear jeans for yourself?
Have you ever ??? - you fill in the blanks, (there is more than one thing to go here for each of us).

Have you ever ordered wine when you wanted a beer?

Have you ever said to yourself that you wish you had done what you wanted for yourself instead of doing something else for what someone else might think?

Enough, by now you either get it or are bored or have checked out. If you are still here, the real blog follows:

My point is that this is the real deal here that we are living today. This is the Final night of the play. This is the last time the orchestra will play the theme for curtain calls. This is the last experience we will have that is this unique experience - life.

Do whatever it takes. Do all you can. Please do ask yourself – Am I worth it to ‘be’ myself?
Ask yourself: Have I satisfied my desire to ‘be’ the person I know I am? Really. Way really down deep inside where only you can see, feel and know what is right for you.

If you haven’t yet done this, you are in for a treat. Just do it!

Then, when you have acknowledged who you really are not, go to the web site I won’t mention http://www.millennium3education.com). Here through yourself you can capture your life as you want it.

Ask yourself,
“What Is It That I Am Pretending Not To Know”

Fare is paid, tuition is not. You are worth it. I know. Do you? Go find out how to ‘be’ you.

Love with power and freedom,
CABBY

A Good Word

No, Not Charley Brown :)

Just a thought or two to set up a traveling weekend.

"We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take
charge and rule our lives from within."

Free your heart from hatred.

Free your mind from worries.

Live simply.

Give more.

Expect less.

Stop trying to be perfect.

Don't get overwhelmed.

Resist temptation.

Reward yourself.

You just rode in a taxicab through a car wash with me.

Yes, we left the windows down to help clear out everything. Today I will see something I never noticed before.

You'll dry out, so will I.

Hope you enjoyed the ride. I am going to go dump the car wash water and wax out of my boots. ha - ha!

Fare was the price of the car wash - 'free' with the windows down.

Laughing, CABBY
