Is it time to tell my stroke story? We were out to dinner. Suddenly I felt odd, like one side of my body was lopsided. I also had an intense pain in the ribs and got short of breath. I am not kidding you that I thought I might be having a stroke, it was that crazy. I quickly excused myself to go to the ladies room. The underwire on ONE side of my bra had SNAPPED! Just like that! I have NEVER had that happen before. Escape in the wash, maybe. But never just snap, while I was wearing it especially. With no way to fix it, and not being in the right company to just go back out that way, I took the bra off and tossed it in the garbage can. That same dinner my pantyhose decided to call a mutiny on me and those got tossed too. Imagine being the person to clean THAT garbage can! I wonder if my dinner company ever noticed.

Extraneous Information: Significance of horse pose in statuary. Copied from a web page. A horse statue with legs raised in the air is said to signify that the rider was killed in battle. Although this is a common belief among some equestrians and artisans alike, this designation is not universally applied. At some historic sites across the United States and in other countries, horses with both legs raised are found with riders who were not killed in battle. Some views maintain that a horse statue with one leg raised is associated with a rider who was injured but did not die in battle. Others views contend that this is symbolic of a rider who was not only injured in battle but died at a later time from those injuries. A horse with all four feet on the ground is said to represent a rider that was neither killed nor injured in battle but who died away from the battlefield of something unrelated to war or battle. A significant number of horse statues in Washington, D.C. and in London, England, do not follow these alleged protocols regarding leg location on a horse statue. The U.S. and the U.K. are the two countries in which the contentions about horse leg statue positions are most prevalent.

Lars...I just noticed your pic...have you ever been to those Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park there? It is a fantastic place for sure. Did you go to the Museum too? Did you know that the same architect that designed it designed many of the Presidential Libraries too? Sorry, for the long post...but your pic brought some memories. LOL
