If you do lose power, constantly remind yourself that the pioneers came to KY in the 1740s and they didn't have electricity and they died slow, miserable deaths in large numbers.

Dear person in front of me at Kroger,

Yes, it's going to snow.

You had 6 gallons of 2% milk and 8 dozens eggs.

I hope that's Guinness Book of World Records related and not storm related.

Southwest Lexington roads are a sheet of black ice. Be careful out there people.

Oweh should take that 70 footer more.

Nothing learned yet from the past losses?

No communication on defense still. UK down 12-10 after 10.

My cat is sooo stupid.

Still writing 2025 on his checks.

Someone with a loud voice should pick a date for a national work strike. Shut down the country for a few days until the GOP congress acts.

The UK Women's basketball team is a contender.

Would be nice if the local paper devoted one reporter to them instead of just reposting AP crap.

Kentucky is getting shafted on calls. The reason Mulkey is so successful is she runs an intimidation game on the refs and they simply don't want to deal with her.

"60 Minutes Inside CECOT" reactions:

Dems : "The government is torturing people! This is terrible!"

GOP : "The government is torturing people! This is great!"

Kentucky is amazingly ranked 18 in Kenpom, Bellarmine is 262. Should be a cake walk. All 4 UK losses are ranked above Kentucky.

My thoughts on yesterday's win over St John's

1) The floor seemed slick. Lots of sliding and falling down on turns. Was something wrong with the floor?

2) UK needs set plays on inbounds against the press. They didn't seem to know what to do. Cost them a couple turnovers.

Periodic reminder that the "Epstein Files" could have a verified video of Trump raping, killing and eating an infant and you would not get a single GOP impeachment vote in either chamber. They all assume he's a monster already and that's exactly why they worship him.
