Run For the Roses

For Sat, May 3, 2012: A few years ago, I was here in Kentucky, watching as my mother took part in a competition for Rangers and Mounted Police Officers from the United States and around the world, at the famous Horse Park. Now, I can't believe I'm back here, at Churhill Downs, in South Louisville, at the 140th Kentucky Derby!!

It's 6:00 p.m, and like everyone else..I'm eagerly waiting for the Kentucky Derby..to start!! Wearing my 50 inch-long, Eileen West Garden of Dreams Cotton Gown, with pintucking, and lace accents, my Hanes White Velour Ballerina Slippers, my White 8 inch Wide Brim Ribbon Hat, and my white, elegant, wrist-length lace gloves. I'm sitting in my Outdoor Reserved Seat in the Third Floor Clubhouse, I think I see a woman in The Fan Zone, in a red dress, and wearing a wide-brimmed red hat. Not unusual at the Kentucky Derby, I know. But this woman keeps looking at me.

I jump up from my seat, shouting,""I'm an ACME Agent, and I think that's Carmen Sandiego!!"" The race announcer calls my pursuit like a race, saying""The ACME Agent jumps up from her sat in the third floor clubhouse, running down the to the Fan Zone...But the Lady in Red runs down the race track... towards the parking lot.. with the ACME Agent in pursuit!! But the Lady in Red pulls away!!""

I run as fast as I can..but she is 2 steps ahead of me!! She climbs on top of one of the structures in the parking lot. Just as I catch up to her, a blimp appears with a ""Carmen"" logo on it, and she is taken into it, and disappears. I can hear the announcer say,""Well..it looks like The Elusive Carmen Sandiego got away again folks!!"" I run as fast I can, but by the time I get back to my seat, the race is over!! Here I am..at the Kentucky Derby..and I missed the race!! I didn't get to see California Chrome win!!

Oh, well..competing in..and winning The Kentucky Derby..or any Triple Crown race..may be a once-in-a lifetime opportunity..but there will always be another chance to catch Carmen Sandiego!!"

    Okay so V confirmed that messages are sending..... Tenchi if you see this, I am having trouble with the site. Julie says she can't send private messages either. V says my profile is missing from her end. Is this related to the microsoft thingy? I changed my e-mail because I was having trouble with Gmail and now the recovery e-mail hasn't made it.

    I talked to another member and she said that the problems with the site might be in part due to that massive Microsoft outage that happened yesterday.....

    This is also a forum site rather than ran through walled garden tech

    huh??

  • Victorique Victorique:
    Walled garden refers to corporate social media. The issues are back-end issues (code that runs things as opposed to front-end being the visual part of web design)
