i rode in the ambulance last friday and it was a hoot.  i hate to stereotype my gender, but a girrll was driving the truck and she doesn’t like to get too close or go too fast on the dirt, so i’m going to ride again with a boyy this weekend.  for now, check this out….

notice the horsemen hanging inside the stalls…

while i’m ready to see the season over, i’m still lovin’ this job…we had a busy week-end, especially saturday when 2 jockeys fell—one did a little rodeo-riding, going from left to right before he fell—and it’s amazing that they don’t get trampled.  in fact, it must be a machismo thing (even the girl jockeys)  since they rarely even let us look at them, just get up cussing and go on.  sounds like me…
