Caleb is in Abu Dhabi this week racing. That’s him in second place closing in on the lead.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Not long after sunrise one recent morning, a camel race here began, as they all do, with two starts. First, there was the expected opening: About a dozen camels pressed their noses against a dangling metal barrier, and when a man in a sparkling white robe gave the signal, the gate lifted and the herd surged forward, necks bobbing and humps hopping as spindly legs galloped off into the fog.

I’ve been to Dubai – and watched the camel races – briefly. Very strange to see camels racing I must say…
Really?!? Is there anything you haven’t seen or done?
Far more remains undone and unseen than done and observed – but I traveled A LOT for the firm. Remember the George Clooney film where he plays a guy who has a million air miles? That’s me. My United status has a lifetime protection – and I rarely go anywhere anymore.
Wow. I think you shared that with me before. I just didn’t realize how “worldwide” the travel was…cool.
What, Caleb racing? No way! I bet he’s arranged for a substitute and he’s laid back enjoying his Wednesday! 😉
Caleb has no stand in’s for his stunts. It 100% pure Caleb.
i put all my money on caleb. let’s go!
Smart bet Beth.
It’s kind of funny that they put “heads” on the robots.
Huh?

Shameful now that I know…that I didn’t read the article. Thanks for letting me know.
