I'm between Dallas and Fort Worth, near Denton. Cindydawg is on the coast in Brownsville. It's right at the very southern tip of Texas, if you look on a map. I do have a friend that's in the town that's going to take a direct hit. I've been trying to get ahold of her but no luck. She's probably already evacuated. She's in Corpus Christi.
I thought she was in Brownsville, but I couldn't remember.
Eeek. Bad part about Brownsville is all she can to is drive closer too it... No where to go south, unless she' wants to ride it out in Mexico.
Hoping for the best to you guys who are in the path.
I recalled something this morning that I was going to tell you all about that happened at the ride. There was a horse there that took an instant dislike to the vet judge. Seemed like for no reason. I talked to the lady that owned the horse and she said this judge has judged other rides she has been to and this horse has always been this way towards him. I've never seen anything like this. This judge couldn't hardly get close to this horse without it running backwards from him. From what I've been told he's the only one this horse has reacted to this way. Curious situation. I never was around when he had to check out the horse so I don't know what they did. All during the checkout of other horses the lady kept the horse up there by the judge, I guess trying to get her use to him. I was especially impressed to see how the judge worked with the horse. When there was a break between horses she would take the horse by him and he would stand quietly as close as he could get. The horse would every now and then reach out and sniff at him, then back up a step. He never crowded the horse. If the horse sniffed him and stood quietly after he would move a tiny bit closer, put out a hand for the horse to sniff. I did see one time that he did manage to get right by her shoulder, and scratch her under her chin, but you could tell the horse was very alert.....
Anyway, I thought it interesting, and wondered what the deal was...no one would probably ever know.
