Del Mar
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So get on your way!
Dr. Seuss
Phil has a reminder:
All the feel good stories and $2.95US will get you a coffee at Starbucks.
#1 – Forever Young
Back for redemption
Next clunker will be his first
Clean start, and he’s live
#2 – Highland Falls
Strong prep on paper
Paper-thin competition
What does that leave us?
#3 – City of Troy
Giant’s Causeway’s ghost
Has taken a new vessel
Tiznow can’t save us
#4 – Mixto
Pacific upset
A flimsy field in hindsight
Not convinced he’s good
#5 – Senor Buscador
Saudi Cup victor
Middle East bounce hit him hard
Best going shorter
#6 – Derma Sotogake
Flair for surprises
But his form’s sideways this year
Can’t get too enthused
#7 – Ushba Tesoro
Far-behind closer
Might not always hit target
But he’ll sure get close
#8 – Pyrenees
If this were the Clark
I’d be much more excited
As it stands, passing
#9 – Fierceness
Two Eclipse Awards
Decided by his effort
One of them is gold
#10 – Tapit Trice
Beat three in Woodward
At some point in these races
Someone had to win
#11 – Sierra Leone
Needs more real estate
Like Century 21
Always runs his race
#12 – Arthur’s Ride
“Lead hypnosis” type
That tactic could have worked here
With a better post
#13 – Newgate
Good layoff return
Del Mar record is shaky
Wins or off the board
#14 – Next
Marathon titan
Shouldn’t be hindered starting
From the parking lot
#15AE – Rattle N Roll
Back from a long rest
Live in any Grade 3 race
Far from comfort zone
Prediction
U.S. blanked in tri

Paulick Report – Ray Paulick – The More Things Change … The More They Change
Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you.
Dr. Seuss
The problem is that social scientists don’t seem to know how to incorporate the nonlinearity of chaos. For how can disciplines such as psychology, sociology, economics and political science anticipate the world-changing effects of something as small as one consequential day of sightseeing or as ephemeral as passing clouds?
…
Chaos theory, to this day, explains why our weather forecasts remain useless beyond a week or two. To predict meteorological changes accurately, we, like Laplace’s demon, would have to be perfect in our understanding of weather systems, and – no matter how advanced our supercomputers may seem – we never will be. Confidence in a predictable future, therefore, is the province of charlatans and fools; or, as the US theologian Pema Chödrön put it: ‘If you’re invested in security and certainty, you are on the wrong planet.’
Aeon – Brian Klaas – The forces of chance

Morning at the Window
T.S. Eliot
They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.,
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs
