Calvin Borel

What would Life in America be without the great horse race and the great little jockey.  Yes, you go to the month of May and you have the Triple Crown and the quest for one each year.  We go forward and we then discover that once again it is very elusive.

Calvin Borel who hails from south Louisiana: the heart of Cajun Country, is my kind of jockey.  Borel began riding in match races at the age of eight and is known for his Cajun accent and bubbly and emotional personality, both of which we saw during his post-victory interview after all three Kentucky Derby wins.

Over a career that has spanned 25 years, Borel has become known for his tireless work ethic as well as an ability to slip up the rail to save ground; his colleagues and racing fans therefore frequently refer to him as "Calvin Bo-rail".




Borel is 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m) and 116 pounds (53 kg).  He is a little man with a big heart.  However, today his big heart could not bring him a win in the second leg of the triple crown.

Proving again how elusive that great feat is.

Sorry, Calvin - maybe next year.

Life in America and Television

Life in America is not the same without a Television.  It is also amazing how very little there is to watch on Television.  I am very much a Golf junkie and enjoy watching the sport, especially when I am sleepy and need a nap.  Golf, as much as I like it, makes me want to take a nap and I usually do.

One of the things that I look for when there is nothing new on TV is one of two shows.  I look for NCIS or I look for Andy Griffith.  Both shows are simple but fun to watch and give hours of pleasure.

That is why I say things like Golleeeeee!

What is it all about?

Life in America is sometimes simple. Life can be about just going to work, coming home, mowing yard, eating supper and then getting up and doing it again. Then sometimes life is different.

Life can be about taking care of parents as a care giver. You the kid becomes the parent and the parent becomes the kid. Sometimes life can be about, life and death and what are the things that cause that. Life can be about what illnesses are out there that are bothering me or others and are they serious or or they not.

What is life all about. Sometimes it gets a little complicated.

My Super Night at the Casino

This is a guest post written by Anoly Corim


I love going to casinos. Where I live we started with an Indian casino and then casinos that had to be based on the water. Now our state has licensed many land based casino’s and have finally put one near where I live. I do not make regular visits to this casino because it can get very expensive.
One time I went to the Indian casino and had the night of my life. But it almost didn’t happen. I got about 5 miles from home and realized I had left my wallet at home. I turned around and went back home and rushed into the house. I also noticed I forgot to put the dog in its cage. So I put the dog away, grabbed my wallet and set my home alarms.
Once I got to the casino, I found a slot machine that looked interesting. It had a bunch of ping pong balls above it in a plastic bubble. I don’t know what I did but the balls started swooshing around and then an alarm went off. I had won over $400.
After that I was walking around and noticed a familiar person seated at a machine. It was my mother. So I sat down and told her what I had won on the other machine. I put some money in the machine I was sitting at and on the first play I hear another alarm go off. I had won $600 this time. Needless to say, I was excited.
I found out my dad and sister were at the casino too, so I offered to take them all to the buffet that the casino had. We had a great time laughing at each others stories and reminiscing about old times. When we were done eating I said I was going to head home.
On the way out of the casino I decided to put a few dollars into a dollar machine. No alarms this time but I had won another $150. It was definitely my one and only super night of great luck at the casino.

Baseball, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet

Right now in sports in America is not only baseball but also basketball. The NBA seems to go on and on and on and on. However, it will soon will be over.

I have no real interest in the NBA but I am interested in Razorback basketball. The hogs are leading the West in the SEC and are playing tonight in Little Rock Arkansas against LSU.

Hope the hogs do well. By the way where is the Chevrolet and the apple pie.

My thoughts for now.

: No More Dial Up for Me!

This is a guest post by my brother William Dakets
Booking Vacation Travel for the Summer Over the InternetI just completed booking my family summer vacation online. It was not only lucrative but also a lot of fun. After viewing so many wonderful places to stay and visit I am very excited about going on our trip. The money saved by booking our travel over the internet will be saved for spending while we are on our vacation. I highly recommend planning your next trip using the resources like Hughesnet internet versus going through a travel agent.
Pictures and Videos of Vacation Travel Spots There are a plethora of pictures and videos available on the internet for your perusal. I loved coming home from work and downloading videos and viewing pictures of possible lodging and activities for our summer trip. Now that our travel is booked I still look at the videos and imagine I am already on vacation.
Comparing Prices and Locations Online Booking our summer vacation online was not only easy it was less time consuming. Comparing prices and vacation locations on different realtor and hotel web sites was very easy. These web sites quickly narrowed my searches based on price and location.
Planning Vacation Travel Online versus other methods we used to go through different realtors to book all of our family summer vacations. It is much more convenient to book online with Hughes Net versus having to flip through magazines, using a travel agency, or calling and talking to realtors on the phone. There is so much online information right at your fingertips.
For those of us that once struggled with dial-up internet connections, the incoming phone call was a cause for alarm. That ringing sound meant certain disconnection from the internet. When disconnected during online shopping, I had to restart orders from the beginning after redialing. In some cases, this could lead to billing errors. When browsing the web, high-speed internet service allows for an uninterrupted flow of information.
I love social networking websites. My friends post the most interesting links in status updates on Facebook and Twitter. With the faster speeds provided by Hughes internet service, I can visit links that contain streaming videos. I do not have to resist the urge to download large freeware programs. I can research complex subjects in a timely manner. With a dial-up connection, web browsing required incredible patience. Loading a simple website took several minutes. When streaming videos and downloading large files, I was forced to wait for hours. This discouraged me from visiting websites with compelling content. After choosing Hughes internet service, I can visit any link. With the help of fast data transfer rates, I am able to use all of the features on my favorite websites.
Since upgrading to Hughes internet service, I began watching television programs online. Some websites even offer high-definition videos. Hughes internet service delivers a fast connection that transfers huge video files in minutes. A dial-up connection would never enable convenient access to high-definition videos.
I enjoy a fast and stable connection. Web surfing is convenient and fun without constant disconnections. I canceled my dial-up plan and replaced it with hughsnet internet service.

Great Weather

We have experienced great weather the last few days.  What a change from last Friday and Saturday when tornadoes and rain and hail were jumping all over the state.  We went from times of being afraid and worrying about our lives and property to a time where all we can think about is getting outside and doing something in nature.

Why the extremes.  Why can't we just have nice weather all of the time.  I guess if we did we would not appreciate the good weather when we get it.

My thoughts for now.

Credit Repair - Get It If ou Need it!

Life in America is a complicated thing. During all of these complications we sometimes end up with some credit issues. That is when we need something as important as Credit Repair.

This is where someone would want to look into what some have called The Best Credit Repair Service that there is which is Consumer Credit Care Counseling. This is a place that is noted for helping Americans in need of credit repair to find the right solution for them. This is all important because the need for Credit Repair is important to our American lifestyle and our need to be able to finance or to buy the products that we need.

So as your life continues and you see that you have the need for credit repair services, why not use one that has a great BBB rating. This means that they are honest, reputable and are good at what they do. If you need help, get it!

These are my thoughts for now on this subject.
