Historical Long Riders????
I was reading this site & it was great!! If anyone else into horses in history this site is full of great stories!! Stories like:

Bud and Temple Abernathy – Rode 4,500 miles from New York to San Francisco in 62 days in 1911. They were aged 11 and 7 and travelled without adult supervision.

&

Otto Schwarz has ridden approximately 48,000 kilometers (30,000 miles) in a lifetime of equestrian travel. He is also the only person we know of who has ridden on five continents!

&

Sharon Muir Watson and Ken Roberts – Were the first to ride the entire length of the Bicentennial National Trail, a 4,225 mile journey from Cooktown, Queensland, to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, starting in 1990.

I am not sure I under stand the question. It look like a statement to me. But for the record I do not care who rode what or ware, for how long. I would like to know, who is going to win the roses this Saturday, I think it is roses. you can’t make a wreath of bluegrass.

Thanks for a great website.

When I retire, or when I take a summer off (whichever comes first) I want to ride my horse to every state in the continental US. North in the summer, South in the winter, I’d like to zig-zag my way across the country.

I’d really like to do this in the next 5 years when my husband retires, but I’d be hard pressed to get him to go with me. Any takers?

ADDED: My trip was ok. Didn’t leave broke, that’s the best part, HA HA! Are you one of the generational ranchers in Vegas, where you can have horses on the property in perpetuity so long as it passes from family member to family member? Heard all about that on the trip to the Hoover Dam.

I also like the trailering idea. If hubby goes, it will have to be trailering too. He’d drive ahead and set up camp, we’d ride to him. With autodeposit and a debit card, this generation of retirees, if they have minded their p’s and q’s a bit, will be the first who can really travel extensively without being terribly wealthy. I plan on doing just that….with my horse.

What a great mind stimulating question! Lots of interesting stories, and it was fun to look at the pictures they included.

cns-you might want to do something like what I seen when you go on your travels. I seen a horse trailer once with a map of the US on the side. Most all the states were colored in, except Alaska, Hawaii, and a few out east. It showed which states they had been to. I’d love to go with you…wish I could afford it! Maybe with our "big" tax rebate check-haha

BB-I agree with the questions lately too! When the weather gets nicer I think the true horse people are spending more time outside and questions will improve again next fall.

For Your Consideration
For Your Consideration (2006)

IMDB rating: 6.20

Plot: Hollywood send-up. No-name actors are making a low-budget period drama called “Home for Purim,” when an anonymous post on the Internet suggests that one performance is Oscar-worthy. Then, two more cast members get Oscar-related press: buzz in “Variety” and appearances on TV prompt the studio executives to insist on changes in the script in anticipation of a blockbuster. Jump ahead a few months to the days before Oscar nominees are announced: just the possibility of a nomination has changed the actors’ lives. Agents, publicists, make-up artists, local celebrity reporters, and other bit players round out the backstage ensemble. Hooray for Hollywood!

Directors: Guest Christopher

Actors: Rannazzisi Stephen,Begley Jr. Ed,Levy Eugene,Shearer Harry,Moynihan Christopher,Guest Christopher,Higgins John Michael,Piddock Jim,Black Jordan,Comedy,

Will there be more teaching jobs in the next 4-6 years?
I really want to go into the field of teaching (prob middle school or highschool level) but the one thing that is holding me back is the lack of job opportunities. I know quite afew people that have a degree in teaching but have been stuck being subs or teachers assistants,or even working other jobs just because they cant find a job. But at the same time it seems that there are so many going to college for this.

Should I take this into big consideration or should I just go for my teaching degree and hope that I will be able to find a job once I graduate?
Also, I live in Ohio. I’m not sure how much I would be willing to move,it all depends at where I’m at in my life when I graduate.


It is hard to predict whether there will be more jobs or not. This year, because of budget problems caused by the economic crisis, laid off a lot of teachers. We also know that the school-age population is expected to decline over the next few years, so that could lead to a lower demand for teachers. What will matter will be immigration. If it continues to increase, there will be more of a need to teach those children; otherwise, many schools may find themselves with more teachers than they need.

A lot will depend upon where you live and where you are willing to live. Some parts of the country are losing population while others are gaining. There will always be a demand for good teachers, in part because the average teaching career is 5 years. It is a demanding job and in some districts a rather thankless one. But if you have a passion for it, go for it. The rewards are in your students’ success not in the pay. We need good teachers.
Mahlon | Feb 04, 2010


My school has a void of teachers in the 35-45 year range. We have some good young teachers and some great veteran teachers. The veterans are getting ready to retire, so there will be a need for young quality teachers. My advice is to do what makes you happy. I love my job and get paid very well to do it. I have only missed work on 5 days in 11 years of teaching (2 funerals, 2 wife dr appts, and rolled/flipped truck 4 times). Do what makes you happy and you will never regret it.

The latest reports from the AFT & NEA say that most likely the job situation for teachers will start opening up in 2012. There are many teachers who will be retiring and there is hope of an economic upswing that will allow teachers to be hired again. There will always be jobs for math, science and special ed teachers at the high school & junior high level.
