My Writer's SoulI've lost my soul,My Writer's Soul2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
My writer's soul,

I'm feeling that feeling again
and it's bringing me down,

Will I ever come out?
There goes that feeling again

I'm trying to find the strength to surface

Through truth you'll get anywhere.
You're perfect the way you are they said.
You're something beautiful to share.
I remember hearing this all the time,

There was one thing that they forgot to say
which is what my mantra is here and today.
Though you may be you and the best to believe
you still need to work to be beneficial
in the lives of others and yours to achieve
anything that will not be something superficial.
People forgot to say that work is needed.
Not the normal amount that keeps you in the gray,
but mind wrenching, sweat creating, limit exceeded.
To stand out and pave your way in life today.
It's the type of work that will make you shine,
to help you stand out and remain unforgettable.
The type of work that's so difficult to define.
The kind makes those gone feel their absence regrettable.
Average work that makes you blend in with others
that gives one average recognition and reward

1. Make the pairing Lucius/Harry; that will get my hopes up and make me read.
2.Start with Harry living at the Dursleys. Make sure he is locked up in his room, preferably mention beatings and that he hasn't been fed for a week, because that wouldn't make him dead at all.
3.It's Harry's birthday! Of course it is! Make him count the seconds, and EXACTLY at midnight, he'll be in a lot of pain. That is impressive, because it means his relatives at least sprung for a really good alarm-clock for him which also shows seconds. And that creature inheritance (because that's what this is, of course) doesn't care which time of day he was born, but use the exact stroke of midnight instead.

There was a beautiful sunset coming then.
The sun is white hot and high.
I sat in the sand with my toes soaking in the water.
Two old men sit on a bench parallel with the outer wall of the building.
He stepped inside my lingering footprints and stopped right behind me.
My footsteps echo precious old memories against the walls after I come in.
We were alone.
I'm almost the only one there, and it makes me feel more noticed than I like.
I turned and eyed him.
Everyone stares as I walk into the elevator.
He looked down at me with a faint smirk.
Remembering keeps me from smiling.
And then he sat down at my side.
One other person comes in and stands next to me.
The lights in his eyes danced like the glow on the water.
A red light clicks on when I press the button for the tallest floor to which the elevator goes.
Minutes passed us by.
It takes only a few minutes.

His hair it does in ringlets hang, his eyes as black as soles,
My happiness attend him wherever he goes,
From Tower Hill, down to Blackwall, I will wander, weep and moan,

And in great London City in opulence doth dwell,
His fortune doth exceed ₤300,000 in gold,
And he frowns upon his daughter, 'cause she loves a sailor bold.
A fig for his riches, his merchandize, and gold,
True love is grafted in my heart; give me my sailor bold:
Should he return in poverty, from o'er the ocean far,
To my tender bosom, I'll fondly press my jolly tar.

The sky was filled with grey wisps of dark clouds, the air crisp as it caressed her pale skin. She swayed in the breeze, her fingers cold as she watched the leaves beneath her feet, their colours golden and burnt red, touching brown and a light orange. They were broken by her steps and piled high over the muddy ground.
Her hair whipped around her face, catching on her parted lips that were a faint shade of pink. She did not reach up to remove the caught hairs, but left them to do as they pleased. Her hat was beginning to slip from her head although she did not adjust it back over her ears.
Dirt was smeared over her cream colour coat where she had tripped and a speck of blood was evident on her knee where she had scrapped her skin and broken her jeans from the fall. The tear marks down her cheeks were more prominent now in the cold as they turned to ice.
The branch creaked in the wind as spare leaves rustled on the trees, the rope straining slightly as she swayed in the breeze. Her last

Sitting next to one another
Just enjoying each other's company
Like we always did
Surrounded by other people
But we didn't see or hear them
We never did
Because when we're together
It's just you and me
Now we grow silent
Our laughing reduced to happy smiles
Leaning against each other
To stay sitting up
I had always enjoyed the silent moments
Where we could say everything
But nothing at all
Where it seemed to always be warm in our little world
But this time it was different
I knew it was a perfect opertunity
To finally say what I had been wanting to
To get this overwhelming feeling off my chest
I grew slightly stiff
My nerves were jittery
I refused to look at you for longer than a second
My mouth felt dry
My fingers would twitch
And our world felt hotter
But I bet it's just me
Because you look fine
Just like you always do
This is it
I decide
I'm going to say it now
Put my heart on the line
Because love is love
Love is taking chances
Love is blind
Love is fear

The soft lash of winter winds,
Exploring the air around you and whipping through,
Caressing every inch of exposed flesh,
The cold holding itself softly to you.
Your feet stop as if frozen,
Closing your eyes in the embrace,
Letting the aura of cold pass up and down your body,
You feel it getting closer to your face.
You try and fight back your smile,
But the more you feel you cannot hide,
The soothing presence of frozen snow,
Exciting as a late night sleigh ride.
Warm breath blends with cold by your ear,
Sending shivers down your spine,
Feeling the arms reach around your waist from behind,
By your stomach you watch the long slender fingers intertwine.
You dare not ruin the moment,
Sweet fuzzy feelings fill from head to toe,

And softly in your ear he does blow.

In the sunny garden this morning...
Today is Canada Day here and it's shaping up to be brilliantly sunny and hot. So we did walkies early and I took some pictures when we got back.
The iron arbour is looking - and smelling - very nice at the moment. I'm pretty sure the honeysuckle is the dreaded Hall's (started from cuttings from a vine outside a store in Niagara-on-the-Lake a few years ago...) I have considered removing it but have not go around to it. We keep it clipped close to the arbour which makes it flower very densely. One side died out two years ago and the replacement cutting is just starting to fill in, so the growth looks a bit lopsided at the moment. I have no idea what the clematis on the left is! It's more purple than it appears in the picture because the color washed out in the sun:
We've started to prune the Viburnum at the corner of the garage near/beside the arbour so it forms another arch over the grass path that runs between the garage and the arbour/back of the front bed. You can see gb's influence all over this picture - and most of the pictures on this thread! :-)
This one is looking across the front bed towards the road from about halfway along the grass path by the garage. So far, only the Rouge Cardinal is putting out much growth on the tuteur:
I had thought the Niobe clematis that used to be on the iron arbour had disappeared this year. But a few days ago, this appeared on the back of the arbour:
Nike continues to be superb at the end of the garage wall.
The neighbour to the north loves it too - they get a good view of it from their driveway.
On the driveway, the big pots of beans are just barely starting to climb on the poles. In about 10 days they will have made it all the way to the top of the 8' poles. Beans need heat to really get moving!
The peas, on the other hand, need cooler temperatures. The 9 pots of peas have been cropping very well. The earliest pot is done now but the later maturing varieties are still producing well. Here is a couple in front of the angel roses:
I had forgotten that I planted a clematis to grow through the angel roses. I'm not sure what it is (lost tag again...) but I'm sure it was one that gb had recommended....
On the other side of the driveway, we removed a big pink shrub rose last spring and planted a hydrangea with a Piilu to grow into it. Piilu just started blooming this morning:
Checking out the south gate and swag... I'm not sure which this is blooming on the side panel of the gate arbour:
Inside the gate on the house side, there's something very vigorous that is doing a good job of covering the swag chains. It's got buds but isn't blooming yet:
The swag is looking good on the house side where it is more sunny. On the fence side the conditions are quite shady until things reach the top of the swag. So there's definitely less growth on that side at this point but I think the clematis on that side will eventually do OK too.
At the end of the swag on the house side, Galore looks like it will love up to its name! The Rose of Sharon grows into the swag chains along there too and Galore is using it as a climbing frame:
gb - you're a wicked enabler! :-)
Guilty as charged. I too love Galore. Could the clematis in the angel roses be Emelia Plater? That's a very good one too.
Yesterday was DS's birthday. He's sick, in Haiti. Oh brother....
Today is my brother's birthday. A busy time of year.
Phoebe enjoys lying in the shade watching for red squirrels and chipmunks.
DH saw a LARGE snapping turtle dive into the pond.
I'm off to do some weeding behind the garage where I'm hoping for a bit of shade. What a way to celebrate Canada Day! ;)
Here is a link that might be useful: Today's clematis
gb - I've been wondering what the state of the arbour/pergola structure in your vegetable garden is this year. The clematises on that must be big enough now to be putting on a good show...? Can you post some pictures of that please? (I like to see pictures of the clematises in the bed - or whatever - where they are located. I find that more interesting (because it gives me more ideas...) than just close-ups of the flowers.
Photos at this stage are quite useless because the early stages consist of dark purples that do not show up.
Several clematis are at the top of the arbor scrambling about. They are all difficult to control...so many are left to their own devices.
There is much weeding and watering, feeding and other work to be done there, which is a primary reason for my delay. There is usually a reason why photographers enjoy taking macro shots! As one friends says, "Believe me, you'd rather see details than the whole jungle."
I'll try for a photo for you tomorrow. Tonight I must finish some weeding behind the garage.
Woody, things are looking mighty fine there !I always feel like summer is here when you post photos of your peas ! Here in Napa, peas are a winter crop-planted in fall and harvested in early spring.
Is Piilu an integrifolia ? I was really taken with Juuli when I saw it at Pennys last week.
Looking forward to continued updates ...
Kathy in Napa
Kathy - I've never had any luck with integrifolias that I've tried. Piilu is a group 2 of some sort. COTW says the first flowers are supposed to be double and the later ones single. It looks like mine are all single at this point. So either I have another mislabeled plant or perhaps they are single because this is their first year blooming (?) or maybe some will be double once they fully open.

R22 vs. 410A and SEER Ratings
ok, so i've been told that R22 offers better cooling than 410A. Also, there are still R22 units being shipped "dry", and filled on-site. The end date for these units is 2025. Though, most contractors want to go with the 410A. I recently replaced 1 zone with 410A, and there is a noticeable difference vs. my old unit. Any thoughts?
Also, how high a SEER rating is really necessary?
SEER rating? I think 13 is what's out there now.
SEER is a measure of efficiency. Higher efficiency means lower power bills.
So a simple question would be, how low do you want your power bills to be?
The problem is, if you look at pricing, each point of additional SEER costs more and more per point in dollars. In my opinion (not based in fact), the sweet spot is around 15/16.
Who told you R22 condensers offer better cooling than 410A condensers? Did they explain what they mean by "better".
There is no SEER rating which is necessary. In very hot climates it may be cost effective to spend additional money of a more efficient unit.
Buying an AC condenser solely on its SEER rating is equivalent to buying a car based on its miles per gallon rating. It is one factor to consider, but certainly not the most important. In both cases your mileage (electricity savings) will vary.
thanks for your replies. An a/c technician said, based on his years of experience, that the recent installs he's done with 410A have resulted in lots of complaints from customers that don't feel their homes are as cool as when they had R22 based cooling units. Personally, having replaced 1 zone in my home last summer with 410A, I have to agree. The other zone in my home is powered with a R22 condenser and there is clearly a difference in cooling.
I know not to purchase a condenser solely on its SEER. Energy efficiency will be effected by other home factors, like insulation, windows, etc. But, since the higher the SEER, the higher the cost, I don't want to overbuy.
Is the new 410A unit the same size as the R22 unit it replaced? If it is, then you most likely have an installation problem. The actuall delivered BTUs of the unit may vary as much as 5% over their nomimal rating, but I don't think it is enough that you would notice it.
I have replaced R22 condensers in my home with 410A units. The cooling performance is better with the new units. I have heard no compliants from my neighbors who have also done replacements.
The 410A refrigerant operates at higher pressures. A proper installation is key to correct operation. In addition the higher efficienty equipment has more items which need to be set up properly. Some old techs may not have the new skills on how to do it properly.
I dropped from a r22 3.5 ton builders grade heat pump to a 3 ton r410a and sealed all of my ducts and fixed sizing issues and its 98 degrees outside and the stat is set and maintaining 76 degrees with 45% humidity.
15.5 seer with txv compared to a 13 seer piston orifice with horribly leaky ducts. Sealing the ducts is where I spent the least amount of money and save the most.
It seems that almost all of the replacement units i've changed out this year have been the Dry units. People in my area of the country are pretty strapped for cash and a dry unit is a perfect solution to get them up and cooling. They don't come with a good warranty (5 years), compaired to the 410A York equipment i install (10 years inside & out) but like i said, it gets them going. The 410A equipment we install seems to actually be cooling better than than the 22 systems. I think alot of it has to do with the X13 or the vari-spd blowers that are usually matched with them. Also, we've been taking more time in our ductwork assembly, making sure that we have no air leakage. I think overall, people are more aware of what it cost to operate their a/c and if they can afford a full upgrade, it would be to their advantage.

This invention relates to toys, and more particularly to a toy intended to be the physical embodiment of the "magic mirror" described in the popular fairy tale "Snow White." In that story, when one stands in front of the magic mirror and asks "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?", a face miraculously appears in the mirror and answers with the name of the fairest maiden in the land.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a toy which in one condition is a mirror, and wherein by means of a simple movement a representation, such as of a face, appears behind the mirror and simultaneously a sound, preferably a spoken message, is produced.
It is another object of the invention to provide such a toy capable of producing a plurality of spoken messages, and wherein a single randomly-selected message is produced in response to each movement.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a toy wherein the movement used to illuminate the representation and initate the spoken message is a movement of the mirror. A feature of the invention involves means for automatically returning the mirror to its original position after the mirror has been moved and is released. This return means may be part of the switch means which turns on the light to illuminate the representation.
An additional object of the invention is the provision of a housing for accommodating the representation and an electric light bulb, the arrangement being such that the bulb can be replaced without opening the housing.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an actuator means movable with the mirror and a talking mechanism having a push button, for initiating operation, arranged in the path of movement of the actuator means, the actuator means depressing the push button when it moves in one direction past the button but leaving the push button unactuated when the actuator means returns in the opposite direction.
Additional objects and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sound-producing mirror toy according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows the mirror and posts which support it in front elevation, with parts broken away, and a vertical cross-section through the base;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary vertical cross-sectional view along line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional view, on an enlarged scale, taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary vertical cross-sectional view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 6 is an exploded detail view, or an enlarged scale, of the light bulb and its holder.
The sound-producing mirror toy chosen to illustrate the present invention includes a hollow base 10 having a top wall 11 and side wall 12. The top wall is formed toward the front of the base with a depression 13 defining a tray in which, for example, play cosmetics, hair pins, and decorative hair ornaments may be stored. The entire base, including top wall 11, side wall 12, and tray 13 may be formed of a single piece of molded plastic.
At its rear, top wall 11 is formed with two sockets 15 (see FIG. 4) within which the lower ends of two upstanding posts 16 are firmly supported. Pivotally mounted between the upper ends of posts 16 is a mirror assembly 17.
Mirror assembly 17 includes a housing 18 having a back wall 14 (FIGS. 3 and 5) and a side wall 19, the front edge of the side wall terminating in an outwardly projecting flange 20. The back wall 14, side wall 19, and flange 20 may be formed of a single piece of molded plastic. The front of housing 18 is closed by a mirror 21 fixed to flange 20 by suitable fastening means, such as screws 22. The mirror is planar so that it faithfully reflects the image of a person looking at it. Mirror 21 is of the type which reflects light from its front face when there is darkness behind it, i.e., when there is no light within housing 18, and which becomes transparent when the interior of the housing is illuminated. Such a mirror may be made of a thin sheet of transparent plastic, such as polystyrene, having a vacuum metalized coating on one of its surfaces.
Projecting outwardly from two opposite points of side wall 19 are two pivot pins 23 (FIG. 2). Each pin has a cross-shaped cross-section, for ease of molding, and a semicircular end. Each pin is rotatably supported within a socket 24 carried by each post 16 near its upper end.
Within housing 18 is a representation of some sort which is to be seen through mirror 21 when the inside of the housing is illuminated. In this example, the representation is a three dimensional replica of a face 25, intended to represent the face in the magic mirror which answers the question about the fairest one in the land. Also within housing 18 is an electric light bulb 26, preferably of the type used in a flashlight.
Depending from the bottom of housing side wall 19 are three plate-like arms 27 and 28 (FIGS. 1 and 2). A convenient way of mounting these arms on the housing involves providing the side wall 19 with a thickened region 29 within which are three T-shaped slots, and providing each of the arms 27, 28 with a flange along its top edge. The flange and top portion of each arm is then inserted into one of the T-shaped slots to assemble the arm with the housing.
Near one of the sockets 24, housing side wall 19 is formed with an opening within which a light bulb holder 32 (FIGS. 2 and 6) is mounted. A metal contact tab 33 is arranged within the holder 32, the tab having a hole in it aligned with a hole in holder 32. The glass enclosure of bulb 26 passes through both holes, and a metal flange 34, which is one terminal of the bulb, engages contact tab 33. A cap 35 fits over the rear end of bulb 26, the cap being held in place by protuberances 36 on holder 32 snapping into an annular groove 37 in cap 35. A springy metallic contact 38 in the rear part of cap 35 engages the other terminal 39 of the bulb 26, a part of contact 38 extending through a hole in cap 35 to the exterior of the cap. The resilience of contact 38 presses flange 34 against contact tab 33. When bulb 26 is to be replaced, cap 35 is snapped out of holder 32, the bulb removed and replaced, and the cap snapped back into the holder. It is not necessary to open housing 18 to accomplish this replacement.
Contacts 33 and 38 are connected by wires 42, fitted within a groove 43 in flange 20, to two contacts 44, respectively (FIGS. 2 and 3), each of which is secured to one of the arms 27 by a fastener, such as a screw 45. Each contact 44 is L-shaped so that it extends over the lower edge 46 of its respective arm 27, edge 46 being inclined as shown in FIG. 3.
Arms 27 and 28 extend through three parallel slots 49 and 50, respectively, in base top wall 11. Extending beneath each slot 49, within base 10, is one end of a springy metallic contact 51 (FIGS. 2 and 3), the other end of each contact being fixed to the under surface of top wall 11 by screws 52. Contacts 51 are connected by wires 53 to springy metallic contacts 55 located at opposite ends of a battery housing 54 within base 10 beneath tray 13. Three aligned flashlight batteries 56 within battery housing 54 engage contacts 55. Each contact 44, on arm 27, and its associated contact 51 constitutes a switch which closes when contacts 44 and 51 engage each other and opens when contacts 44 and 51 are separated. When these two switches are closed, batteries 56 are electrically connected to light bulb 26 which is thereby energized and illuminates the face 25 within housing 18. When the switches are open, the interior of housing 18 is dark.
When housing 18 is in its normal position, shown in broken lines in FIGS. 1 and 3, the inclined lower edge 46 of each arm 27 engages its respective contact 51, but the contact 44 carried by that arm is separated from contact 51. Hence light bulb 26 is off. If housing 18 is pivoted so that its lower portion moves rearwardly, into the solid line position of FIGS. 1 and 3, each contact 44 is brought into engagement with its respective contact 51 so that bulb 26 is turned on. During this movement, the inclined edge 46 bends contact 51 downwardly stressing the contact. This serves to insure good contact between contacts 44 and 51. In addition, when housing 18 is released, contacts 51 pushing upwardly on inclined surfaces 46 cause housing 18 to be pivoted back to its normal position. If desired, an additional spring (not shown) may be employed to return housing 18 to its normal position.
Within base 10, beneath the rear portion of top wall 11, is a talking mechanism 59 and a battery 60 (FIGS. 4 and 5). Talking mechanism 59 is fixed to a bracket 61 by screws 62, the bracket being fixed to base 10 by screws 63. Battery 60 is located within a battery housing 64, its ends engaging contacts 65 within the housing. Contacts 65 are connected by wires 66 to talking mechanism 59.
The talking mechanism is preferably of a well-known type including a motor-driven turntable carrying a phonograph record of special character. The record is formed with a plurality, say six, of interleaved unconnected spiral grooves, each groove carrying a different spoken message. A stylus is provided for engaging the grooves and reproducing the spoken messages through a speaker. When an actuator push button 67 on the exterior of the talking mechanism is depressed, a switch is closed to energize the motor and rotate the turntable. The stylus engages one of the record grooves and reproduces the message in that groove. When the stylus reaches the end of the groove, the switch for energizing the motor is opened and the stylus automatically returned to the beginning of one of the grooves. The particular groove engaged by the stylus is entirely random; it could engage the beginning of the same groove just played, or any of the other grooves, but in no particular order. The talking mechanism does not operate again until push button 67 is again depressed.
Push button 67 is located directly beneath slot 50 in base top wall 11, through which arm 28 extends. Arm 28 forms part of an actuator means for push button 67, the actuator means also including a pawl 70 pivotally secured to arm 28 by a pivot pin 71. A spring 72 constantly urges pawl 70 in a clockwise direction in FIG. 5 so that an upwardly projecting finger 73 of the pawl abuts a stop carried by arm 28. The lower edge 75 of pawl 70 has an inclined surface, and push button 67 of talking mechanism 59 is arranged in the path of rearward movement of edge 75 when housing 18 is moved from its normal position, shown in broken lines, to the position shown in full lines. During this movement, edge 75 depresses push button 67 to actuate the talking mechanism. No relative movement takes place between pawl 70 and arm 28 because of the engagement of finger 73 against stop 74. Upon the return movement of housing 18 to its broken line position, the front edge 76 of pawl 70 strikes push button 67 and is pivoted in a counterclockwise direction against the force of spring 72. As a result, push button 67 is not again depressed during this return movement.
It is contemplated that a number of children will play with the toy simultaneously. Each child is randomly given a designation, such as queen, duchess, princess, etc. This may be done by dealing cards to them, each card bearing a different designation. The children then use the play cosmetics, hair ornaments, etc. to beautify themselves, using the mirror 21. The mirror will reflect since light bulb 26 is off. Each groove of the talking mechanism record bears a different message such as "The queen is the fairest one" or "The duchess is the fairest one." When the children are ready, one asks the mirror who is the fairest. The mirror is then tilted to turn bulb 26 on and illuminate the face 25 which can be seen through the mirror. Simultaneously, push button 67 is depressed to randomly play the message in one of the grooves, which tells one of the players that she is the fairest one.
The invention has been shown and described in preferred form only, and by way of example, and many variations may be made in the invention which will still be comprised within its spirit. It is understood, therefore, that the invention is not limited to any specific form or embodiment except insofar as such limitations are included in the appended claims.

Your drawings are really amazing. I haven't seen any outside the ones in the description but so far they look fantastic. They look like pictures in the thumbnail, similar at first glance (the drawing style) and then very different when you look at it for longer.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of playing in a co-ed softball tournament in Lebanon; I remember because I still can't walk without soreness bolting through both legs.
The tournament was a fundraiser for John Stuart and Ann-Caitlin Mattingly's daughter, Emma. I went to high school with both of Emma's parents and I can say that they're more than deserving of the tremendous support shown to their family on Saturday.
During summer breaks my last two years in college, I sold cemetery property door to door in Houston, Texas. One of my favorite sales pitches was the line, "It's not a matter of if, but when and where and under what circumstances you will need cemetery property."
"Jesus wept."
- John 11:35
This past week was a bad week.
In one, a young family that I wrote about once lost their ten-year-old daughter after a long and painful illness. In another, a young man who is a friend of my son, lost his father unexpectedly. He and his two siblings had lost their mother a couple of years earlier.
What can you do when good people suffer such heart-breaking tragedies?
Dear Editor,
Please support your Washington County High School students for the spring blood drive!
Donating is a learned activity. The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization supported by donations; it supplies 40 percent of the blood supply to our country and responds to emergencies and disasters, such as the ice storm in Washington County a few years ago, and most recently to a house fire.
Dear citizens of Washington County,
I am retiring after 22 years of law enforcement. I would like to see someone in the sheriff's office to continue the services I have provided.
That is why I am supporting Jerry Pinkston as our sheriff of Washington County.
Jerry began working for the sheriff's office in 2009 as a court security officer until he was hired as a deputy sheriff in June 2010.
"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure."
- William Feather
You know, when I was young and single, I got to do a lot of interesting adventures.
I joined the U.S. Navy at 17 and saw a lot of ocean and Europe in the process. I even watched us collide with another ship and nearly sink it.
I drove a motorcycle from Kentucky to Daytona Beach when I was 19 on my learner's permit.
Dear editor,
I always enjoy reading Ken Begley's columns. In regard to his article "Capitalism vs. Government," he talks about the relative lack of efficiency of the public vs. private sector. Of course, the marketplace rules, in regard to the private sector. But, the way government is supposed to work is that people are sufficiently interested/informed to vote in the best public officials and vote out the others.
Even if you're not a horse racing fan, you've got to love the story of how this year's Kentucky Derby winner, California Chrome, fulfilled the dream of his owners, Steve Coburn and Perry Martin. It's a story that inspires us to dream big and take the necessary steps to give dreams a chance of being realized.
