It was an interesting day. I met Jerry Lewis's wife today at a big horse barn in one of the only irrigated areas in Las Vegas. The whole area didn’t have the feel of Las Vegas to it and I figured out that is because the heat is not coming off the ground like it does every where else. The sun is probably not any stronger but the heat given off by the ground just really cooks you. It was a different world all together because the horse we looked at just was shipped in from Germany and costed $750.000 dollars. It is a lot like desperate house wives Las Vegas. The only males were the mexican grooms and me. I don’t know how much I would be comfortable working there because I don’t know anything about that type of horse or style of riding. We bred a few mares today with frozen semen that went well. A couple days ago a kid left a note on my car that he would like to buy it. I didn’t think much about it other than I began to worry if he was going to steal it. I called him the other day just to see what he would pay and then he came and drove it. He texted me that he has cash to buy it now and I asked him what he thinks its worth. He said that he honestly thinks it is worth about $1000 bucks so I told him if he had the cash come and get it tomorrow. So we will see if that goes down but it would be good because the room I want to rent is going to cost me about $1100 to move in because he wants the first months rent and last months rent for deposit. I like it when things sort themselves out like that. I guess the Lord knew exactly what I needed and it makes me think that I should rent the room. The guy is 30 years old and is a captain in the Airforce. He flies the predator drones and teaches others how to fly them here at Nellis air base. It should be interesting. Went of a colic emergency tonight and it didn’t look good for the poor old guy. It was a 28 year old grey arabian who was quite painful. He had 2 prior surgeries for colic many years ago. There is only so much you can do for them but you like to give them a chance even if they are in pain. This one didn’t look good though.
