Anonymous said...: I note the riders with the camels are not being led. In all my years of training and handling camels I have never done that and would not know really how to go about it. I wouldn't want something stuck in their nose and can't imagine bits. Also in my years I have never seen it done by others as well, so it is interesting they did it in the old days. Late nighy movies on TV with some of those epics filmed in the desert where hundreds of camels are ridden in formation or otherwise are fabulous. In Laurance of Arabia, that English actor is shown riding and Kushing one. Guess those Rag Heads know a hellava lot more about camels than we do.; 24 April, 2008 08:29

About 3 years ago, I was with C&B on a parking lot and the race track sign said it was 104 degrees, Anita said when I told her what the temp was, that the sign was wrong and it was only about 100.
