Faster pussycat: A stable hand leads Kitten's Joy and his rider off the track after a warm-up at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas. Kitten's Joy is even odds for the $2 Million Breeders' Cup this weekend.
Her son Dave is with the ist Cav 2-7 in Iraq. They were in Najaf for the month of August. The 2-7 has just left Camp Cooke, and, she assumes, they are on their way to Fallujah.
The following is a quote from her email:
This is going to be nasty. Dave is very proud of his CIB and the job he is doing. My emotions run all over the place. I am so pleased that voter turn-out is going to set records. After the election we need to heal and bind ourselves together to support whoever wins. Please keep him and his men in your prayers.
