In my lifetime Iâve been blessed to have lived or worked in 48 states and four Canadian provinces. Never been to Alaska I hear itâs to die for. Never been to Hawaii, I hear you have to experience it but itâs expensive. Alberta and the Yukon literally blew me away.
Been to MX on vacations ( never going back) been to and trained in Central America ( Panama). Been to Europe specifically Germany keeping an eye on the Fulda so the Russians wouldnât pull an Ukraine âoperationâ. Liked Europe in the early â70âs
All in all couldnât wait to get home to WPA. Now I live in S FL. Itâs all been great and I have great memories. For now though

When pursuing the American DreamâŚunderstand how difficult it still is and thatâs how it was from the beginning. Itâs like running up an escalator going down. The choices you make in expenditures along the way, greatly influence your progressâŚESPECIALLYâŚat first. Only spend money on your needs. As time goes on, youâll make more money at what ever it is youâre doing plusâŚsomewhere along the way, your money starts making money too. RememberâŚitâs hard but the American Dream is a live.
psâŚyour choice of a mate is CRITICAL to your personal and professional success

About 400,000 American retirees are living overseas. Lower cost of living can be a big factor.
Many US citizens have a second or third passport. Naturalized US citizens can frequently keep their original passport, and many countries offer citizenship by descent.
Back in the 19th century a trip to America was almost always a one-way trip for arriving immigrants. These days travel is much easier and more options are possible.

Of course you did.
Did you gallop for a quarter mile? No?
Stop being cruel to animals.
did i gallop out? no. i did ride him however, one of the nicest geldings i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. i mucked his stall, and groomed him.
he was great.
Allan
Of course you did.
I donât know how anyone canât see the horse racing industry as cruel. How many horses are put down on the track every year for now other reason than greedy people pushing them past their limits? I feel the same way about show dog owners. Just let them be dogs!

Nothing wrong with having two passports. Though of course there are countries that do not allow this. My mate who is from Venezuela had to forego his Venezuelan citizenship when he became an American citizen. I do not know if this was a US or Venezuelan requirement.
But the US does recognize dual citizenship with many countries.
of course horses will always be injured on the track, which is why the fed took over last year. too many injuries too horses dying. much better in 2023
Based on 2023 data, Angst tells us, â99.87% of flat racing starts at the racetracks participating in the EID were completed without a fatality.â The goal for starters should be for trainers and vets to turn that 99.87% into 99.97%.
thank you HISA and HIWU. thank you congress for passing federal oversight in horse racing.

The American Dream is alive but it takes a lot of work, planning, preparation and continuous modification. Itâs a dynamic process. The forces working against someone accomplishing it though, have increased. One of the biggest factors in accomplishing it, is who you choose to surround yourself with? Choose wiselyâŚespecially when choosing your mate.
