I live one mile off I-65 at the Smith Grove exit. You don't have to buy me lunch, I will fix your lunch.
I will send you a message for details.

You are good to go. You can toss that mask now and breathe God's fresh air.
Somewhat different topic. Don't know how many of you attended UK, but did any of you take the train to or from Lex from/to home area? I rode the Cincinnati Southern RR 3-5x from their Ludlow Depot (Train began in Cincy - northern terminal of their line.) to old, now demolished Lex Station off of Broadway, about 80 miles. $5 fare?
Another tidbit: Cincinnati Southern is only long-distance RR owned by a city: Cincinnati. Runs to Chattanooga, 377 miles. Incorporated into Norfolk Southern system.

I would love to have a governor like him.Good Monday Morning D
We are thankful Austin made it back safe to Texas. That was quite a road trip. We are in store for a nice day. It is currently a cool, for us, 59° and the wind is ENE at 4 mph. Our high will be 84° at 3:00 this afternoon winds will be NE at 7 mph and the humidity 46%. We will have plenty of sunshine that will give us a UV Index of 9 of 10.
Someone filed suit over our new Anti-Riot Law. We knew that was coming but we are not flinching. Get in the street and get run over. Threaten life and property and face the consequences. Don't do any of that and you may live a long life.
I am ready to face the day and trust all are well and if not you are healing fast.
Had no idea, and don't recall anyone taking the train to or from from UK!! That would have been a cool way to go.
I've got a Repub/RINO governor that I'd trade for Desantis in a heartbeat.
And a good morning to all. Shaping up as a beautiful day...the kind of day where I hope to be outside later on. Need to do some mowing, etc. Had cut down 4 huge pampas grass plants (stalks/shoots from last year) a couple weeks ago, so need to get them up and to the fire pit. Plus, this time of year....plenty of other things to do.
It's plowing/tilling/planting time here in corn and soy country. Lot of tractors going up and down the roads the last week or so. One thing that's a little concerning is the lack of rain this Spring. Seems that it's been an awfully dry April, but I guess we could have a wet May for the Summer. If not, if Summer comes early then it could get pretty dry. Last Summer was really hot but we had plenty of rain/storms so it didn't dry out too bad. So we'll see.

Unfortunately we're stuck with Dandy Andy until at least November 2023. It can't come quick enough.
But the Dems have the 'art of the steal' down pretty good so it may not matter.
All four of my wife's grandparents and my grandparents lost land to the creation of Mammoth Cave. Prior to prohibition my grandfather make bourbon whiskey (Kentucky distiller #62) when they removed prohibition he could not restart because Mammoth Cave National Park forced him to sell his spring and you can't make good whisky without good spring water. He died hating the federal government.
Most folks don't realize that they are still buying property to add to the National Park. It is insidious the way they are doing it. When I was a kid it was basically 2.8 miles from my old home to the National park boundary on KY highway 255. Now they have bought the land around 255 to within .8 miles from my old home.
Many of my folks are buried in Mammoth Cave National Park. My dad's first wife and my half brother are buried in Locust Grove Cemetery. I have folks buried all over Mammoth Cave. The National Park does not do a good job of keeping the cemeteries properly and they let the cemeteries be taken over by the forest and the trees damage the memorials. My dads first wife (I had to use chalk so you can read it):
That is the end of by bitching about the park.
Is it just my impressions....or are you finding more and more people who think this way?
Should be nice weather somewhere this week. Enjoy it!
I believe Johnny referred to Doug as his coonass friend. When I saw him (Louisiana Man) live he was the real Toot!
1969 it was everywhere!
When the Canucks buy the KCS shortly, they'll replace those colors with a red maple leaf.
The park's creation was a very expensive thing for the folks involved there.
All my folks still serve in the military etc., but our Constitution is a list of what the government can and can't do. The can't do is being reduced but we really need to limit it more not less. I am not against national parks but the way it happened is the problem. They ran roughshod over many good people and cost them their livelihoods and their neighbor hoods, in that they could never go back home.
The thousands of people that were displaced by the creation of Mammoth Cave National Park used to come back on the weekend closest to July 4th every year. It was a form of protest. My dad and mom would not miss the “reunion” for any reason. They got to see folks and friends who had been scattered all over the area. It has died out now as all the original displaced folks are dead.
My mother’s cousin (Perry and Lucy Edwards Cox) owned Great Onyx Cave. They fought selling out until the mid-60's, but they were wealthy enough to do it. When Sherry and I would go to Cave City Baptist church Lucy always wore a big hat. The seats behind her stayed empty because you could not see around the hat. She was quite a character. Prior to them selling out we would start our July 4th celebration at Great Onyx Cave. Those were interesting times.
There's a good Jerry Jeff Walker cover on this song...I don't know if this is considered classic country, but it is one of my all-time favorites—Jessie Winchester's Mississippi You're on My Mind.
The first time I heard it was by a Navy friend of mine. I swear he has a voice that would rival James Taylor. However, he has no confidence on stage and cannot remember lyrics to save his soul.
As with most of my posts, there is more to the story. But I have droned on long enough for the day.
Rooster -- When I was pipelining all over the US in my teenage years I worked with lots of guys from Louisiana who all called each other Coon Asses. I didn't know if it was one of those things they called each other, but you better not, so I stayed safe on that one.
Man, they were partiers and high spirited young guys. And they loved to play a card game called Booray. The great thing about the game: It was totally unsuited to the Coon Ass psychology -- it rewarded patience and then aggressiveness at just the right moment. But they were "All IN" every hand kind a guys. Bottom line: They taught me the game and by the end of the job I was earning as much money as I thought safe playing cards with them -- more than on the pipeline.
Paternal (Trimble Co.) Maternal (Bee Spring) I've park interred antecedents as well.
Me too. We've got a Ducey here.
Had a guy who worked for me that managed my New Orleans office. He was Cajun. Not as high spirited as the guys you played cards with, but a little. Took me about a year to fully understand him when he had something to say. Had that thick Cajun accent.
SC, I wore it sparingly anyway... Only when required. That part won't change much. When I exited the VA the mask came off during my second step outside. Yeah I got looks like I had sinned but they can take that up with whoever they pray to, I dare anyone to tell me to wear a mask when I am outside in public. While I am no vulgar person they may get something they don't want if they asked in a bad frame of mind or attitude... (I guess all the security decided it wasn't worth telling me to put my mask on, I seemed to be the only one out of hundreds without a mask on. (I looked too.)
Bert would you like to have your family's antecedents added to the WikiTree? These biography narratives need preserving. Find-a-Grave is heavily relied upon as sourced information. This sourced wiki is rapidly becoming a valuable amalgamation of family histories.All four of my wife's grandparents and my grandparents lost land to the creation of Mammoth Cave.

Harris to Tell UN Body It's Time to Prep for Next Pandemic
Vice President Kamala Harris will make the case before United Nations members on Monday that now is the time for global leaders to begin putting the serious work into how they will respond to the next global pandemic...
VH, you must have joined the D-League while I was away for a couple of weeks. Welcome. Glad to have you join our merry band.
I like Rep John Randolph of Virginia. I wish 20 million people had listened to the wisdom out of his mouth. Especially Disney and Mickey Mouse. My State Representative told me once he would like a sign at the state line. "Welcome, spend all of your money and go home We are full. FLORIDA IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY Representative John Randolph spoke the truth.
Johnny Paycheck was a hero of mine
My last day of work, before retirement, I brought a CD player in and played "Take This Job and Shove It" really loudly. Everyone was envious.

They better prepare for the next pandemic, and she is it.
When we could not have cars on campus, as freshmen, I remember taking the train from Lexington, to Ashland, and back, on a couple of weekends. Finally siad the heck with it, and brought my car back. I just parked it off campus.
Girthang, you are another that has come to the oasis while I was away. Welcome.

I will look at it. I am totally involved in Ancestry. Can you simply transfer stuff from Ancestry to WikiTree? I have 20 years invested in Ancestry and 11 years invested in FindAGrave.
I bet most of the work is done, I've been working with Bill Vincent. I'll do it for you starting with that guy below.
I know he's in there because I just added him and sourced your Find-a-Grave work. You're work won't be impacted just sourced and included. I mess around there all the time. I've over 2 dozen sourced veteran grandfathers of our war of independence.
Can you simply transfer stuff from Ancestry to WikiTree?
I believe so Linky

Welcome to Don's oasis where common sense hides out.
Rental car turned in. Heading out for grocery shopping. Plan on picking up a few extra goodies.
I retired last June when someone with delusions who didn't know how decided to order. It wasn't the first rodeo for this clown. I knew that time would come fifteen years ago when I was told to renegotiate my opinions. I told him that nothing has changed for 100,000 years. This time, a 2 week notice and he still didn't know how.
