The people over at National Geographic blog have put together an interactive map of what various city names actually mean when traced back to their Native American roots, and some of 'em are a real hoot. Native American words echo in the names of lakes, rivers, mountains, states, cities, and small towns across the United States. The first settlers, who put many European words on the map, also

When Bennie Woolley Jr. got a chance to run his 3-year-old in the Kentucky Derby, he hitched the ole' horse trailer to his pickup and, in spite of a broken right leg, the New Mexico former quarter horse trainer, rodeo rider, self-described cowboy, and novice Derby trainer drove 21 hours to Kentucky.Having driven cross-country a few times myself, I know that's an ordeal without the broken leg.The

A racehorse doesn't always have to win the Kentucky Derby to be great—just like lots of Derby winners turn out to be, well, not-so-great in the long run. Take for example John Henry, named for the legendary steel driver. He was bounced from pillar to post in his early years, but ultimately proved to be the Horse of Steel, racin'—and winnin'—well into his ninth year. He is the oldest horse ever

It seems to me the last place ya'd find accusations of racism would be in a horse race, 'specially considerin' the wide range of colors involved. 'Course durin' the past few years the Kentucky Derby has become less about the horses and more about the celebs strutttin' their stuff at the bettin' window. Back in the 60's, though, it was still a great race without that appallin' endorsement tacked

Over the years I've noticed you humans get fixated on the weirdest ideas. Just consider who ya' elected last November… Another example is that the owner of the best of the best horses of all time wouldn't let him race in the Kentucky Derby 'cause it was too much to ask a three-year-old to run 1 ¼ miles in early May. Okay, so a lot a people in our current wussified world have that idea, but

Some of ya' out there might remember I started this blog in response to Smarty Jones' blog durin' his run for the Triple Crown. (For those of you who don't know, Smarty is the 2004 Kentucky Derby winner now livin' the good life entertainin' the ladies.) Anyway, since AHM once worked at a thoroughbred stable, most of us get along really well with horses, considerin' our size and all. Next

Started with the car breakin' down and ended with AHM's place of business catchin' fire. Standin' outside in the cold for two hours watchin' fire hoses gettin' dragged up and down three flights of stairs did not make for happy walkies when she got home.

It's no better upside down.While AHM was sick—which we decided had somethin' to do with the recent tragedy in Washington since the barfs hit her barely a week after the official wake—we spent a lot of time on the bed watchin' television. Considerin' every channel was broadcastin' the demolition administration in the makin', she got hooked on Home & Garden Television. (We just went along 'cause

After two weeks of bein' sick as a fe-lyin', AHM is in catch-up mode. Things'll be slow considerin' she's gotta' play catch-up at work too, but fortunately she's got friends who email her interestin' stuff.
