For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Driving survey Rough estimate by Sam

Jeanie and I drove to Lexington to attend the UK-Vandy game Saturday.  As I noticed the first five cars to pass me on the  southbound I-71 were driven by females.  At that point the roads were not icy.  We expected bad weather- snowy- through and below Cincy.   I started my survey to Jeanie's dismay.  I think she agrees with my daughter-in-law Suzy sometimes that  I am a chauvinist.  I certainly am not although the survey results might be objected to by the fairer sex.

Results:

Over 150 miles and about two and a half hours:

Drivers of passing cars:

Women             37
Men                  26
I dunno              6 (too fast)
Twinkies            1  (just a suspect)  coat collar up around the neck)  I could not tell

The snow did not show until 32 miles above Lexington and we were lucky to settle in a line behind two trucks scraping and salting the center and right lanes.  They were doing a terrific job.  The lead truck scraped the snow to the right lane and the following truck (about 30-5- yards behind) scraped it on onto the birm of the highway.  We traveled then about 30 to 40 mph.

Some cars began passing after a while and most were driven by women.  I know, I know.  Dianne Patrick is a race car driver, but the ladies are rising up all over.   I did not count tractor trailers or pick up trucks.  Those are generally masculine drivers. 

I must send these results to Suzy Penrod Kegley, a Huntington Veep.  She appreciates me so!

As to our purpose- UK 85 Vandy 67.  I love it especially when our Wildcats beat Vandy.
