Here's a promotional video for the Dennis Reis Colt Breaking Challenge. 

The colts in this vid are far more physically mature and far less experienced and mentally mature than the filly in the previous video.

These are some real good hands with a horse getting run over mostly because when these colts were babies they didn't get handled almost dailly like mine are.

These are most likely ranch raised colts that have been probably, mostly herded to and from after having been halter broke on a burro.

When I was young, I was still too old to be getting run over by somebody's knucklehead colt.

Still, nobody gets hurt here and everyone ends up going home safe, happy and ready to go on.

From Debkafile one of the better sources for actual news anywhere.

As opposed to opinion dressed as news most everywhere.

Yes of course, the picture ... click on it.

India to pay gold instead of dollars for Iranian oil.

Oil and gold markets stunned.

India is the first buyer of Iranian oil to agree to pay for its purchases in gold instead of the US dollar, DEBKAfile's intelligence and Iranian sources report exclusively.  Those sources expect China to follow suit. India and China take about one million barrels per day, or 40 percent of Iran's total exports of 2.5 million bpd. Both are superpowers in terms of gold assets.

By trading in gold, New Delhi and Beijing enable Tehran to bypass the upcoming freeze on its central bank's assets and the oil embargo which the European Union's foreign ministers agreed to impose Monday, Jan. 23. The EU currently buys around 20 percent of Iran's oil exports.

The vast sums involved in these transactions are expected, furthermore, to boost the price of gold and depress the value of the dollar on world markets.

You should be listening to your Uncle Roany here ..... buy gold!!!!!

That there is a depression.

We received emails from Katie and Chris P. suggesting that we missed the best video on the Northern lights offered at The Inquisitor site.

They're right.

This is about 5 minutes of real good stuff from NASA and includes an explanation on what and how.

I found this quote over at our friend Cheri P's facebook page the other day and can't source it.

If indeed source is a verb.

Among my final efforts to put a name to this quote, I called Terry D. who despite his claims of busyness and hard work is even less engaged by his employment than I am ..... and I'm retired.

My foolish thought being that he might be able/willing to provide some small help.

But nooooooooo!!!!!

In the middle of that conversation Terry asked the above question and then once again and as usual, suggested that I should look into it.

I'm pretty sure he sort of knows, just as I sort of know, but would like to have a more perfect understanding provided for him.

I'm pretty busy at the moment myself, but did find and attach a link to the quote below that will take you to a primer at Libertarian.org

I'll probably explore it some over the weekend.

We've been enjoying the effects of the largest solar storm since 2003.

All kinds of disruption to GPS, satelite guidance systems, air travel, and communications have been the result.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights as they are known in these parts have been going ape shit crazy.

From The Inquisitor here's one minute fourteen seconds of spectacular.

Two of the greatest professionals in the history of show business.

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra singing the Isham Jones and Gus Kahn classic The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else.

Thanks to the little wiffer for this one.
