The shrimp typically found in restaurants nowadays is nowhere near the flavor and quality of what you'd find 20-30 years ago. Me? I get wild native Maine shrimp by the bucketful for $1 a lb when in season, then prep and freeze a year's worth, for like $50. The meat is pink and sweet, and bears no resemblance to cardboard.

If anybody does want to see a little more of some horses than just on the internet feed, some consigners have started putting walking/standing videos up. You can see some of the Book 1-2-3 horses here (click on the picture to play the video)

I dunno about you guys, but I'm exhausted watching other people spend all that money. I was happy for West Point Thoroughbreds. They got that Curlin from the family of Street Sense for $700,000. The AP Indy - Sapphire 'n Silk filly was a real beauty from what I saw on the live feed. $400,000 felt like a bargain.
