CrabAppleLane Sunday - May 6, 2007 Issue
Congratulations to Street Sense and Louisiana native jockey, Calvin Borel, for their thrilling victory in the Kentucky Derby yesterday. Because I didn’t have a nickel on the race, I had the winner. That's my winning formula for handicapping. He was the second or third choice on the morning line but he went off as the favorite. I liked his experience. Those who took my advice need not thank me for the extra 4½ houses they now own.
Checking in on the CrabAppleLane vegetable garden, we offer the image below:
These are right on time. If the worms and other critters don't beat me to them, they should be on a CrabAppleLane bacon and tomato sandwich, an avocado and tomato salad, or a cold cut po-boy in about three weeks. The plants wilt a little in the sun but they really love it. No sun block required.

We lacked a lot of education. But we didn't lack no work.

Quote from said blog: "The owner’s son, David contacted us and said they expect to sell over 1,000 hats for Derby, so you’re sure to find something that fits your style. You can even see models that are already sold to avoid that nasty catfight."
Man, I have to go to the Derby one day. -Rob
Beautiful baby tomatoes. May they grow into luscious adults. :)
Good call on Street Sense. That was some move in the last half-mile, I don't recall seeing 19th to win by 2 in the Derby before. Too bad I didn't make it out to the track to take advantage of your wisdom though. Next time.
My hope as well, Kim.
Not much wisdom involved here. Made my selection based on each horse's synopsis on MSNBC. Think it has more to do with luck, Dave.
