See you at The Preakness

I'm taking a break from this arduous process of moving to a new house which we just bought.  It's not so much an intentional break, but something that was planned.  A bunch of friends have been going to The Preakness at Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore for years.  Last year was the first time I went and it was fun, but pretty exhausting!  We never made it to the notorious "infield" but maybe this time.  Last year it was rainy and gross.  According to the weather.com report, there are thunderstorms predicted, but not until the evening and the temps will only be going up to the low 80's.  We have nice indoor seats, but it sounds like we might have to make some foreys outside.  One of the problems is going to be convincing some others to go.  These guys have actually stayed in the infield many times and so probably got their fill and have grown out of it.  But I am somehow still morbidly curious about the spectacle.  I'm sure after viewing it for a little while I'll decide "well, been there, done that" and move on, but until then, I can't move on, damnit!  Ok, well, maybe I can.  Here are some shots I took at last year's event:
