Speaking of horses, Zenyatta, who is undefeated, will be challenging the boys in this Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic and be the first female ever to win the major race on the card.

I prefer she enter the Distaff rather than face possible defeat. She has won all of her 13 starts.

Classic winners Mine That Bird and Summer Bird are expected to run in the race.

It's hotter than hell in the northwest, including southern Oregon.

Seattle and Portland are expected to hit record highs. In Medford, which is near the northern California border, it's supposed to be 108 today.

The dogs are going to take the day off from their walks, whether Sam likes it or not. At least in the afternoon.

And yes, in theory you CAN fry an egg on a sidewalk, provided the surface temperature is hot enough:

There's nothing like being a horse's ass or messing around with one:

Kenley found Vereen behind a barn where the horses are kept and pointed a shotgun at him. Kenley called police on her cell phone and waited for officers to arrive.

"He was very subdued,'' Kenley said. "He was like ... cold. He may have been in shock.''

Kenley said she asked Vereen what he was doing at the barn and that he said he was looking for a bathroom.

"I told him he was full of crap,'' Kenley said. "He apologized and said he didn't mean to hurt me.''

Vereen admitted to officers that he did have "relations'' with a horse on July 19, the report shows. Officers reported that they viewed a video showing the suspect having intercourse with a horse.

Lots and lots of dumb jokes in the comments section.

Some men are so sick and depraved. I wished he'd have met the same fate as that guy in Washington State a couple of years ago, later identified as Kenneth Pinyan.

In case you wanted to know, sex with animals isn't all that uncommon:

In addition to the legal problems, a person such as Robles would likely need treatment to avoid repeated similar behavior, Marks said.

“Typically the people who are involved with bestiality will have a difficult time being aroused by regular sex,” Marks said. “Many people will be very ashamed of it.”

Because of that shame, it is usually an outside force that will lead someone to seek treatment, such as a spouse’s demand or an incident with law enforcement.

“The treatment is behavioral therapy, which in generally involves decreasing the level of the arousal that people would have to this,” Marks said. “It’s hard not to laugh, but it’s a serious condition.”

In case you want to know here is a picture of the rape victim. She is on the left:
