make an ad that they know will get complaints and say they are not showing it which will then get more people who want to look at the ad plus idiots in the media who talk about it and will run it without them having to pay for it.

I remember the day because it was the Friday when Christmas Break started in my school district.

We were at Black Angus in Cerritos for dinner, drinks, and a gift exchange because she was going out of town the next day to see her parents for Christmas. We walked outside after dinner to say our goodbyes and exchange gifts at about 9 p.m. and as we got to the sidewalk I heard a familiar

ching ching ching ching...

I told her to STOP; the Clydesdales were coming. Sure enough, from around the corner of the building came the whole team with their wagon and everything. The pulled up right beside us and stopped so I told the guy in the drivers seat I wanted to go to Long Beach. The guy laughed and said they were there to give a private ride to someone inside...

However, back to the horses.........I saw them years ago at the Denver stock show. We went down and were standing where the bleachers are right next to the tunnel that they used to come into the arena. I will never forget the feeling and your heart actually pounds from the hoofbeats as they roar past you! It was awesome! You could also walk in the back where all the horses were tied up and where they were putting harnesses and such on them. Standing next to them is something you don't forget...........
