I remember my sister telling me how a dominant mare "leads" her herd from behind, not from in front. Being a lifelong fan of horse racing, it got me wondering how that mindset might apply to horse racing. I asked Copilot, and here is the result...
I took my wife's car to Honest-1 Auto Repair in Spring Hill today. A warning light has been saying 'oil change required' for a few months now, but she doesn't drive much. Works from home. Once the odometer finally reached the mileage suggested on the last oil change sticker, though, I scheduled a ... read more

One name, five books, a singular journey...by William Arthur Holmes
Dobie Pokorny spends his late twenties bouncing between temp jobs in Los Angeles law firms and the gravitational pull of a cult member named Venelia. When that ends badly, he bolts to Kuala Lumpur, where he's swept into the orbit of Riva, a secret-agent-in-training, and her handler, Serge.
When that ends badly, Dobie lands in Nashville and marries Cori (a Riva look‑alike). She's nothing like Riva, but that's the least of his worries once he and newfound ally Darla turn whistleblower against their employer, LeHavre Industries. Shockingly, that ends badly too.
By his mid‑thirties, Dobie retreats to his hometown of Louisville, wins the lottery, and somehow ends up running for president with his brother Shane, his father Rudy, and his new girlfriend Glynnis by his side. It ends spectacularly badly.
So Dobie does the only sensible thing left: he writes a manifesto, hits the road on a speaking tour, and tries to make sense of the universe. The universe -- or at least its representative, a small blue alien named Semmy -- is not helpful. Along the way he meets Kaylie -- the first person who actually fits -- while being pursued by Colonel Charonne's enforcer, Major Watson.
