The back deck looks really good. I need to lift the air conditioner and do that area still. There's a fifty percent chance of rain in the forecast so we'll finish it up tomorrow. We still need to pick out a color for the new railings so that will be next on our list.
My new book finally came from Amazon. it's called " Mile Marker Zero" by William McKeen and it's about his time living in Key West in the 70's. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to start it this afternoon.
The Loro Parque Zoo in the Canary islands had a serious mishap this week. The zoo decided to have an escaped animal drill. So, a zoo employee dressed up in a gorilla costume and went onto the zoo grounds. Word didn't filter down the ranks obviously. A veterinarian thinking the 'fake' gorilla was real shot him with a tranquilizer condition. The sedative is designed to take down a 500 pound beast for hours. The 'fake' gorilla man is hospitalized in serious condition. Communication, it's such a wonderful thing!
I'm sticking with Commanding Curve to win the Belmont Stakes. He's a closer and the extra quarter mile should play into his hands for an exciting race. Krissy decided today would be a wonderful time to place her first horse wager so she's taking half my action. We're going $15 across the board for a total of $45. I'll be heading to the casino in just a few minutes to place the wager. They also happen to have the world's greatest fried chicken so I'm bringing some home for lunch.
We'll play the rest of the afternoon by ear. Brady Street is having some sort of festival this afternoon so we'll check that out. Then we'll catch the race on television and head back to the casino to grab our loot!
Later
