We went to the races it was so cool. I have never seen those beautiful horses running down the track. Things in real are so much more powerful than just pictures or TV. We put bets on 4 horses and won three, the last one came fourth. It was interesting coz you can see the people really like the horses so much the jockeys and the people leading them. We went out to look at the horses to choose one which was the only way that made sense, thru there is no way we could choose. So I just picked the prettiest. Its funny to have got so old and never to have gone to the races my grandfather was a handicaper whatever that is and went to all the races in Adelaide. He never missed a Melbourne Cup. I like to do new things, its amazing how many new things you can do in your own town.
We were talking today about getting old, how it seems to consist of going travel and coming home to be surveyed for disease its funny I do not want to be tested and xrayed and jabbed. So much of medicine is about testing and so little about curing. Then the great payoff, survival in a nursing home. Eat drink and be merry we say. I am reading Michael Crichtons " Next." The genetics of us is so complicated you can see the disasters coming these nutters are playing very dangerous games and the consequences are so unpredictable. I dont worry much I dont know why. Don Juan says he has not agreed to get old I am with him. That matters and to love the earth which nurtures us. The nagual says that only love of the earth will take away our saddness. I think I look at the earth at the edges of things but it is the centre.
