Thanks for the humor break. Some of these posters are downright serious. I'll admit I may not have specified the Patriot Act in the response you read....
since I was answering what seemed like hundreds of them...:) but in my defense...that is the subject of this thread. Thanks again for the levity.
Amazingly, you became a member on my birthday! Even more amazing is you are in/around Lexington, KY.....an area I love. I drove back to Ohio in '96 and coming back west, I dropped down into KY and came in on the Paris Turnpike.....fabulous horse country. Spent the evening and the next morning, while drizzly, foggy, made a loop of some of the biggies out on Winchester and then went to the KY Horse Park. I could have spent a week there...also took the driving tour of many of the farms....Mare's Haven, Lane's End, etc....and headed to Keeneland.....WOW....beautiful country.
My brother took basic at Ft. Ord in CA, and then went to Ft. Campbell for his paratrooper and Ranger training.
BUT.....isn't there always one....you shudda picked a more highly esteemed profession, in my view. :)
