It's racing season in Victoria - horse racing that is. For the past several weeks, Victoria's citizens have been dressing up in fancy duds and heading to the track for a day of binge drinking and gambling. It all culminates in the Melbourne Cup next Tuesday, which is a state holiday for Victoria. The racing appears to take a back seat to the fashion spectacle - as far as I can tell, the entire season is an excuse for women to purchase dresses and hats that are entirely inappropriate for any other other occassion. Due to the high cost, the mobs of people, and the fact that we'll be in Sydney, we won't be able to attend this year's Melbourne Cup or any of the preceeding races. There's always next year. . .
