Is that bone marrow for horses?

I was actually asked that question and although that is an actual procedure I don't think BMB will be a courier for them anytime soon. (Actually, the transplants are autologous,. No need for BMB) It's all about horses in Lexington. That's all anybody and everybody knows or does. Surfer Bob got a V.I. P. tour from Linda, an old school chum and fellow riding buddy. Obviously, Linda stuck to horses while Bob choose a different kind of ride. The rolling hills of Lexington are beautiful even on a chilly, rainy day in February. One stop on the tour was Ashland Stud Farm. Here you can see some of the past champion thoroughbreds that are now in the heat of stud season. Sorry couldn't resist. The noble beast,  Henrythenavigator, liked Bob's red suit.


What's up with those zombie lawn jockeys?

4 days in Paradise





Finally a courier trip Bone Marrow Bob could sink his teeth into. A short trip to Italy. He started out in Milan hitting all the famous tourist spots. Il Doumo was amazing even in the rain. Oh how Bob wished he could be inside La Scala. Early the next morning Surfer Bob hopped a train to Tuscany to visit friends. The Italian countryside is beautiful even in February.  Back in Milan it was no shoes, no shirt, no Last Supper. Inappropriate attire will not get you in to see da Vinci's masterpiece no matter how much you beg. Unfortunately Surfer Bob had to stay outside Santa Maria del Grazia and settle for some sublime Caravaggio's at the Brera. No photos inside so he settled for his portrait with a banner.
