Today's song is A Horse With No Name by America, released in 1971.

In several places on this website I've mentioned the truly humanitarian work by my friend, Nicki in rescuing abused horses. Recently she asked me to name one of her newly received horses. I was honored and humbled by her request.

After considerable thought, I informed Nicki, of the name, Native Winds. On Friday I received the following email from Nicki:

Hi Don,

I got to see, handle, and take pics of your girl Native Winds today! I will let you pick which one or ones to use.

Have a great evening and thanks!

Hugs,

Nicki

In some ways I feel like a father again. I never had a close connection to a horse before, now I do.

I hope to get over to Nicki's ranch soon to see Native Winds. For any of my readers that wish to donate to help all the horses that Nicki rescues, see this page.

I wrote a new short story, Native Winds to celebrate the new arrangement discussed above.

I added one Favorite Header Image Combinations shown below:

On Friday night I saw the excellent new movie, The Blind Side at my favorite theater shown next. It is based upon a true story. Go see it!
