"Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see a bird that has the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses." --Dale Carnegie

Saved by the Web

The Internet has done many things for many people. For Bev Holzrichter, it saved her life. As Bev was helping her horse give birth, the horse kicked her three times, knocking her to the floor. She was alone in the stable and her husband wasn't due for another three days. Fortunately, Bev's web cam was on and people around the world were watching -- people from California to Germany, who called for help after witnessing the incident over the Internet and rescued her. "Without the Internet I don't know where I would have been," Holzrichter said.
