Jean I think that truly great racehorses love to run...<br /><br />I remember watching the great American filly Zenyatta win the Breeder's Cup classic. I was at a conference in Montreal that weekend and my friend and I found a TV that was carrying the race. In the middle of that posh hotel, surrounded by scholars we started screaming and urging her on, jumping up and down. People must have thought we were mad-- two religion professors shouting at a racehorse... but an exciting race can make you lose composure...Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-16676661224570060972012-10-22T14:29:07.224+01:002012-10-22T14:29:07.224+01:00Here is a another article about Mr. Romney and how...Here is a another article about Mr. Romney and how he made his money. It's a cogent explanation of leveraged buyouts and the damaged they have caused. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/greed-and-debt-the-true-story-of-mitt-romney-and-bain-capital-20120829Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2693906520077939432012-10-22T14:14:05.491+01:002012-10-22T14:14:05.491+01:00As Theresa said.

There has only been one other time in my life I haven't voted, and that was a couple decades ago when I was in the thick of raising five young children. If I still lived in the US I would vote, but the reality is an absentee ballot makes no difference one way or another. Having said that, if I was Australian (meaning someone was going to fine me for not voting) I would cast my ballot for Obama. But not without severe reservations. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-40457365484974364862012-10-22T13:12:26.396+01:002012-10-22T13:12:26.396+01:00Oh Jean, please do vote!

He is lacking in humanity, generosity of spirit and is totally out of touch with "the common man".

That could change this country's course in a very serious way.<br /><br />I'm putting Loop and the Estorick in my list for a quick visit next spring.....I am doing a tour of Shetland then a quick day in London and on to meet my husband in Amsterdam for a conference he needs to attend. Since we normally travel together, LYSs (no matter how lovely) are seldom on our list of places to visit!<br /><br />Barbara M.

Lovely yarn. Have a look at the Wollmeise Twin. I like it even more than Tosh Sock. <br /><br />Loop also has a great selection of Addi-Lace needles in 100 cm if you're comtemplating trying socks a la Magic Loop method. I like the Lace tip on the Addis when doing socks - very sharp tips for getting into tiny stitches.<br /><br />As I recall, the Elk in the Woods is about 30 meters from Loop. <br /><br />I'm quite jealous that you are going to be with Franklin. I've been missing him lately as it's been nearly 3 months since his last blog post. I've worried that the Black Dog was chasing him, but surely it can't swim the Atlantic to follow him to Britain.<br /><br />Enjoy the London excursion!Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004651109262737552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-24285129380277031312012-10-22T09:52:27.533+01:002012-10-22T09:52:27.533+01:00Ah, I have no doubt that, in due course, all will ...Ah, I have no doubt that, in due course, all will be revealed!
