No, I thought about Animal Farm, but I did not bet it and so do not collect on this 137th anniversary of the founding of the Kentucky Derby. Maybe I will do better at the Preakness which will be in two weeks. I stayed in my usual conservative self so that I did not go bust and have enough left to play the Preakness.
I went to Upper Deck sports bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere, the huge screen, and the real Michigan coney island dog. It had been flown in especially so I had to have one as I remember those with relish. It was super good too. And the owner of the place, an alumnus of MSU, also was there, and I finally learned who he is.
I did not attempt to make myself known to him even though I was obvious to everyone who walked into the place. I just remained quiet, and had to have some guy help me at the ticket dispenser, a sure sign then that I should have saved my money after all. I guess I should think about these things now and then.
Video of Derby race will accompany this if it is at youtube. Good race! I just was surprised to see all the outside horses come up first four...amazing. 16, 19, 14, 13 I guess it went. And Master of Hounds did come in fifth. So the Super HI Five would have had to include him to win...what a story...His number was 11. All double digits in top 5. Can't believe it!

Wives of Osama bin Laden blog
I just read the story about bin Laden's wives and son Omar so wanted to post it at this blogspot while I briefly describe my interest in the subject.
There is a lot of suspicion worldwide about whether or not this body that was dumped into the sea with some ceremony is actually that of bin Laden. It has become a joke nearly worldwide about whether bin Laden was killed years ago, died of natural causes, kidney failure, or was actually able to hide out in plain view as they are calling it in a compound in Pakistan.
It is harder to believe than if someone suddenly would come out and announce that they know exactly where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.
So the subject of the wives is very important, as there is little doubt that the wife should know whether or not this man was truly Osama or not.
More interesting than anything else about this perplexing story is the public reaction to it. Americans appear to be gleeful, thankful, and believers in the story. Other nations who are publicly stating their opinions are not so easily persuaded that this is Osama bin Laden at all, and most doubt the American story.
Many questions have to be raised about this man who was quickly buried while the capture of Saddam Hussein saw him being paraded around, kept alive, and humiliated in many ways. His hanging was made public knowledge so it seems that the photo of Obama should also be seen and made evident to a disbelieving public.
I wrote up a story on this blogger some time ago about meeting a man in the local foodcourt of a shopping center. This man will remain known as Omar for this blogger's privacy and sanity.
The conversation is reminiscent of a conversation in the movie Network. When I saw a dvd of the movie it startled me to see the similarities between the earlier film and this later meeting.
So for that reason I will use that pair in the movie portrayed by William Holden and Faye Dunaway to make my statement.
As I am a believer in reincarnation now I was convinced that this man was someone I had known in a pastlife and I was even further convinced that I had been talking to him via Yahoo discussion groups for some time. I even mentioned it at that group which in fact caused some consternation there.
I am still convinced that he had been a member there and that is probably how I came to meet him.
I have spoken of this elsewhere at the time as I had grave doubts, was a bit of a doubter, but soon became convinced that this man was for real.
All this is relevant to the ongoing case so I will just say that because of the USA Today article, an ongoing play here in town, and an incident in my life where I met a person of significance who called himself Murray or Murree, (Marie) I was a bit startled to see the name Murree Road in the New York Times identifying the road near the compound.
I see a definite connection from a time I spent in Washington, D.C. to this latest operation in territory of Pakistan which makes me wonder. I have many more things to say but the name of the road coupled with the person who called himself Murray or Marie makes me suspicious of this entire episode.
While I am writing this to recall for myself, I have to talk in oblique terms, but in fact I see a direct connection between white Lincoln and this operation. Yes, bin Laden did prefer to drive a Mercedes. Of that I am absolutely certain.

Osama bin Laden pronounced dead by Barack Obama
It is so easy to get the two confused: Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama...a lot of bs is what I think.
But tonight we are told by the White House that Osama bin Laden is officially caught, killed, and body recovered. Since there was a fire, was bin Laden in or out of the fire? Was his body burned? How readily identifiable is it?
These are questions which I would like to have answered before I jump to conclusions.
He has been pronounced dead so many times before now it is time that the USA finally declares him dead. Is this fact or fiction? None of us can trust a government official any longer to tell the truth.
Or like the man landing on the moon story, is this just another piece of Hollywood fluffstuff designed to fool and mislead.
Let us see the pictures of the corpse. I want to see visible evidence that this is truly bin Laden, not a double.

Tornadoes in Southern Part of USA
I just visited the NYTimes where I looked through the photos of the wedding of Kate and William and then the tornado results that have hit the southland so badly. I had had a dream the other morning which had really impacted me bigtime, as it had reminded me of an old t.v. show years ago showing what happened to Arizona when a meteorite hit it. In this dream, I was wandering around with crowds of people after some dreadful disaster had occurred, so I checked to see if I wrote it here or elsewhere. I know that I wrote about it, but I am not now sure where it was or to whom it was that I wrote of this event. At any rate, the photos from the NYTimes made me remember it as I associate it now with the numbers of people who are being driven into a similar scenario due to these devastating tornados. I had hoped that some natural disaster would not strike us this way, but alas and alack, I see now that it has hit the Midwest and south very hard. I spoke of it to my friends on Easter Sunday as that was the day on which I had the dream. I was a part of a large mass of people who had suffered a terrible and crushing disaster, as all buildings were obliterated, and while things were being given away and distributed to the needy, people did not want them so much as they wanted their homes. I spoke of this and Jeff got the meaning of it right away. So seeing these pictures from the times reminds me of that dream...it has come true after all.
