Oh, Kentucky

It's Racer Week, baby! Virginia and I on Saturday will be taking Rachel's dad to Murray State for the 3 p.m. Central homecoming football tilt at Stewart Stadium with Missouri State. The Racers are 1-4, and the Bears are 2-2. But you know what they say about throwing out the records when Murray State and Missouri State hook up. I think I'll just listen to the fight song all week: "... March, men, march on down the field,/Place the ball o'er the line/For Thoroughbred's fame and old Murray's name/And everything that's right -- Fight! Fight!"

It's Civics Month, baby!

What the bus manufacturer calls the "the largest concentration of hybrid school buses in the nation" is being introduced across Kentucky, reports Ryan Gray in School Transportation News.

I forgot to mention a few weeks ago that Sports Illustrated included Lydia Gumm, a North Hardin High sophomore who won the Kentucky Invitational golf championship for the fifth straight year, in its Sept. 20 "Faces in the Crowd." SI said Gumm had won Kentucky's "Miss Golf" award as a 12-year-old in 2006 and again in 2008. I hadn't subscribed to the magazine for about 20 years since resuming about a month ago through some sort of frequent-flyer premium, and let me just say that Sports Illustrated's arrival has made for a joyful jaunt in from the mailbox each week.
