Misty Day for CU's Smoke-In

In Boulder and around most of the state of Colorado, today is known as the "Great Smoke-In", and people from near and far come to the Norlin quad to smoke marijuana and thumb their noses at local police. The CU police and Boulder police generally have a few people posted around the outskirts of the crowd, but they don't try to ticket partakers within the quad limits. This gathering has been taking place since the mid-1960s, and I just try to avoid campus and downtown Boulder on this day. Today has been misty and cloudy with a few rain showers. Not a really "super" type of day.
> The kits have been very loving today - but last night, Nedi's nose discovered the duck jerky treats for the dogs, and I spent over an hour giggling at him as he tried to get intomy messenger bag and then open the zip-locked bag. He was determined. He succeeded. But he was funny!
> Toby's Corner, one of the hot contenders for the Kentucky Derby, was born and raised at Snooty Fox Farm in Alachua, Florida. Dianne and Julian Cotter own the farm, 2.7 miles off US 441 on County road 239. Toby's Corner won this year's Wood Memorial, beating favored Uncle Mo. Bellamy Road, who was bred by the Cotters, but raced for George Steinbrenner, is the sire of Toby's Corner. Bellamy Road won the Wood Memorial, also, in 2005. So I have to say at the moment that my sentimental favorite for the Derby is Toby's Corner - after all, he's a Florida kid, like me. Snooty Fox Farm is also the current fixture for the Misty Morning Hounds, a fox-hunting group. (Now - don't get upset with me... Fox hunters here in the US may chase a fox with hounds and horses, but the foxes are not killed. If the fox is treed or denned, the pack master will recall the hounds, with praise. If the fox's line is lost, then the pack is recalled and set out to find a new scent. - It's all about the thrill of the chase - riding on a strong horse or pony, jumping whatever comes up, following the sterns of the baying hounds...) Tally-ho!
