It’s too bad Big Brown has such a stupid name. And now the horse named after UPS is actually being sponsored by UPS. It was way more fun to cheer for Smarty Jones, Funny Cide, and War Emblem.

So we hit the low 90s yesterday. No weather records, but hot enough to keep the dogs and me plenty lethargic all afternoon. When I came out to Yakima last May it was 70s and sunny for about a month and a half straight. I’d like more of that, please.
