Yes, she should win these races she is competing in. Was she supposed to win the Classic last year? It's a good thing Haynesfield isn't running in the Classic this year because she'd never catch him. Haynesfield who just embarrassed our hero Blame, who beat our hero Quality Road. She is the best of what we've got right now. And if it's a watered down group, so be it.

We always hear..."who did the horse beat?", the answer in Z's case...."everybody entered against her." A perfect record is a perfect record, Z deserves the praise she's getting and it's reflective of the cynical mindset of horse players that so many line up to diss her. I thought she deserved HOY last year but I understood RA's victory, this year....there is no question who is the best horse in training. All time great...time will tell, we should revisit that question after the BCC. In the meantime, I will relish her victories and pray for one more!

She wanted us to fix her laptop, which wasn't turning on. She kept trying to describe problems in a form of English we were unfamiliar with and after about five minutes, my business partner had the brilliant insight to ask her if she had kept the laptop on while in her laptop carrying case. She said yes. We then spent the next ten minutes in a three way conversation that went something like this. Us - " What happened was that by keeping it on while closed up in the case, it ended up gettting too hot in there and the computer cooked itself to death". Prudey woman - "Ohhhhhhhhhh. Buttt, but, it was working before that" Us - "Ugh. Yeah, it was working before that because that was before you had killed your laptop. Once you cooked it, the solder melts on the motherboard and your computer can no longer power on." Prudey woman - "Ah. Well, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Hey, wait a second, how come it was working before I did that?" Us - "Have you ever heard of cause and effect? What this means is that when you perform an action that has a consequence, that consequence only effects things in the future. It is not retroactive, meaning it doesn't change our past." Prudey woman - "That reminds me of this time blah blah blah. More blah blah. But why won't the computer work now??" Us - "Because it's dead and you murdered it. We can try to fix it by baking the entire motherboard, but that is almost certainly not going to work in your case because you've probably fried the CPU." We had to explain the before and after thing to her five to six times. Finally, when she gave up, we had one last exchange. Prudey woman - "Well, thank you very much, you've been very kind. I'm going to take my laptop and say a prayer for it" Me - "Well, good luck with that one and let me know how that turns out for you." Prudey woman - "Ok. You never know about how these things will turn out!" Me - "Yep. If it does work for you, let me know and you'll have yourself a job here!" I really needed a hug at that point. Come to think of it, that Prudey woman kinda reminds me of Prudery. Woah.

I see you've been practicing your name calling. You probably cannot understand this, being one yourself, but idiots have such a draining effect on me. It's brutal. What's worse is that some of these idiots I've had to deal with lately think they are smart, and some even think they are getting over on us non idiots! Had a customer come in on Friday, for instance. Cool enough guy. He comes in explaining his desktop computer won't fire up. The most noticeably obvious thing is that it looks like the side panel has been kicked. We open it up and pull out the hard drive and the useless modem. Right away we notice two capacitors are missing from the motherboard and that the north bridge has been attacked. A short time later we discover the IDE cable going from the main board to the hard drive has been the victim of a scissor attack. We tell him that his computer has been sabotaged, to which he says that his employee has been complaing about how slow this computer is and that he wants a new computer to use at work! While he can see the damage himself, once we point it out to him, he's still in a bit of disbelief that his employee (a family member no less!) would do this. He asks if it's possible for the capacitors to spontaneously come off if the computer is dropped. We show him on another board how much it takes to get one to pop off, but he still can't believe it (sorta). Finally, we point out to him that if they did come loose, where are they now? Why aren't they in the case. So, he goes back to work. I call him with an update on the fixes, which, by the way, now includes a hard drive that has been thrown as hard as possible against a solid object. He said that he looked in the trash can at the desk where the computer was, and sure as shid, there are the capacitors! The employee is not only stupid enough to sabotage his own computer because it's slow, even though it had relatively fast guts, he was moronic enough to throw the parts away a mere 3 feet away from the scene of the crime! The kicker is, he had previously asked a friend of the boss how to best sabotage his computer so that he could get a new one! Those are the kind of retards I deal with at work. And here right after every Zenyatta race.
