At my office in San Jose
« on: June 16, 2007, 05:52:46 pm »
I think San Jose must be the only place in the country where folks (the local police in this case) ride up on horseback to go to Starbucks.  :laugh:

I am just now finding this, that's a hoot! I have often wondered if the mounted police clean up after their horses or do they just ride away......

.....ride on up her to Alberta, Cowboy! ;D

More horsies today...  :D

I love the way they let the horsies drink out of the fountain.  Essentially, our fountain is just a big horse trough..   :laugh:

they were going to dring one of those huge 'tubs' of coffee on horseback?  ;D No cantering hopefully, just slow walking like we did on Moose Mountain.

That is too cute. I didn't know San Jose had police on horseback. I only saw them when I visited Washington DC.

       Since you have been to Portland Eric, you probably know it has mounted police as well.

People have asked me whether we saw any mounties in Canada.

We did, but only in Fort Macleod, putting on a show for the handfull of tourists that had showed up.  :-\

You might have seen more, and under less tourist-y circumstances, had you ventured a bit east into the neighboring province of Saskatchewan, and its capital of Regina. I understand that the Mounties have their official headquarters and/or training camp in that city.
