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!!"

    Jimothy is a real raccoon without a spine. He looks as though AI created him. He's like in New York or something

    Did you know San Francisco's original name was Yerba Buena, meaning "Good Herb" because it was so abundant there?

    Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.

    Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
