Oh, Kentucky

From the Associated Press coverage of a tragic story out of western Graves County: "... The Amish community in and around Dublin is conservative and private, said Teresa Cantrell, mayor of Mayfield, the closest city. Kentucky has nearly 8,000 Amish and 31 settlements around the state, according to the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pa. Many Amish in Graves County are members of the Swartzentruber community, a sect that shuns modern conveniences, like appliances and electric lighting. ..."

The funeral is today.

I think Elizabethtown would be a great choice.

Dippin' Dots decline?

Former UK coach Eddie Sutton joins a lot of folks I rooted against in the new Naismith class.

Lots of tornado, Oscars and Knicks-Heat talk among the Twitter overnights.
