Just when you think you’ve heard of everything, you hear of a dating website for horse lovers!  My cousin Stacy tells me that she has found out about a dating club for horse lovers and she has taken advantage of their offer of FREE sign-up to see if she might be able to meet “Mr. Right.”  My hubby butted in with his “two cents” and said he thought she was more likely to meet “Mr. Ed!”  (Smart aleck!)

When we finished laughing, Stacy told me that she heard about the website from a friend of hers and she decided to check it out.  Stacy claims that it is a social networking group for horse lovers that want to meet other horse lovers, and it doesn’t have to just be people looking for romance, it could also be for people who just want to make new friends who share their love of horses. Besides, having an equestrian cupid might not be so awful!

Stacy has always loved horses and rides whenever she gets the chance.  She’s been talking about buying her own horse someday and has started to look around to see where she could board it when she gets one.  She’d love to find someone to go riding with!

We’ve been busy getting ready to spend a few weeks at camp.  We’re planning to go out there this weekend and stay until mid-July.  We LOVE spending the 4th of July weekend there!  That is the absolutely best weekend of the year as far as lack of bugs, and nice warm weather.  And of course, all of the neighbors spend a lot of their evenings setting off fireworks to celebrate their vacations!  It’s a great lazy time, with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the simple things in life, and go for an occasional boat ride.

I just received an email from a cousin that lives in a very rural area of Australia.  I was so surprised to get an email from her!  The last I’d heard from her was by US Mail, and she complained that she lived in such a rural area that she could not get Internet Access!  That news alone was a big shock to me because I’ve had Internet access for such a long time; it seemed to me that she would have had Internet access for a while now too!

I was reading an article on Yahoo news that a family near Columbus Ohio was finally scared out of their house that they legally bought. They were scared out by the man who used to own it and had lost it during foreclosure. The man was stalking them, blocking their driveway with his truck, coming to their door and asking them to let him have his house back. This struggle lasted for eight years before the new family finally gave up the struggle and moved out. The previous owner has been ruled mentally ill and therefore not being punished for his actions. The story did not indicate who is living in the house now.

This is a really sad story, and it makes me wonder how many times something like this is going to happen in the future? So many people are losing their houses now; I wonder how many of them are going to “take it out” on the people who move into those houses!

Have you ever noticed the Peter Principle at work? Of course you have, you probably just did not know what it was when you were observing it! The Peter Principle is simply this: People get promoted in their jobs until they reach a level of incompetency. That is where they remain.

This is why most of the time we find ourselves dealing with incompetent people in our day to day business. The people have risen to their level of incompetence. If by chance we find someone who does their job well, they have not been promoted enough!
