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!!"

    It's been gradually slowing for years... the theory has to do with the aging of the galaxy... it's not that we build tall stuff or heavy stuff (those have no impact on that).

    What would the movie night thing take to do? Is there a way to limit it to members only (on here), or would any glance at chat give away the whole thing?

    You know, there was a question from one of my fb pages I follow that asked, if time travel were possible what event would you visit in history and change. My response was that I'd stop or make sure Hitler were never born. And then I began thinking about it. And thought....how would that change ACME? Would we still be Anerican and international? Would we still have The united nations and NATO?
