Speak for yourself Kathy.  I am just over the hill from you and my horses and 
29 year-old mule are outside.  If they want shelter there are trees, bushes 
and they use each other.  I don't think any of them have seen a blanket 
except at races when it is really cold and they are tied.  I thought you 
lived in San Jose like me. 

I hate the term Silicon Valley almost as much as "The Glen" which is the 
yuppie term for the neighborhood I live in which is really Willow Glen.  Of 
course I am weird because I was born here when we only had prunes and 
cherries, no computers.....
