Family Pictures

Next on our tour was the Masters at Spruce Meadows. This is very
hoity-toity event for those with way-yyy too much money to throw around
in raising horses and then flying them all around the world to jump
with against other people's horses who also have too much money.

How much money are we talking about? Well, I was talking to a family at
the Sleep 8 who are attempting to move here from Britain, and airfare
for their one horse is $12,000 one way.

But at the Masters we also found that there were all sorts of other
things to entertain us. In fact, we probably only saw about twenty
minutes of actual horse jumping in the 5 hours we were there.

First there was the Chrysler site. They had a bunch of vehicles set up
for a test drive. The yellow Crossfire convertible and the Jeep
Cherokee were the two we drove.  Coolest point was the first picture
where they had a little circle for you to do a donut. Their
instructions:  "Turn the wheel and floor it!"
	

 The next thing for us to visit was the Prairie Dog
competition in which groups of 4 dogs raced against the clock.

And what a weird grouping it was. One group was a Pomeranian, a
Newfoundlander, a Retriever and a Border Collie!  Good entertainment!
