Oh, Kentucky

I just want to say--and I am honestly not hating here--I think it would be a lot of fun to be rich.

If I were rich, I'd be one of those people where other people would whisper to each other after I walked out of rooms, "You wouldn't know it, but that guy has a lot of money."

Except every so often, however, I'd make people wonder by showing up at very fancy events dressed in a full, regulation Miami Dolphins uniform.

And to continue with this spirit of not hating, let me also offer a hearty "Hooray!" to Holly Goddard Jones, a Russellville native and College Heights Herald alum who has moved on to rock English departments and the Southern short-story scene. She also, by the way, is a lights-out fantastic blogger.

From everything we get here, three of the four people in this story (lumping the McCracken County Sheriff's Department into one person) did the right thing.

Jenna Mink in The Daily News in Bowling Green offers an interesting peek into the job of configuring bus routes to maximize the fuel savings delivered by adoption of hybrid models--if you get geeked up for that sort of thing, as I do. (My wife has a cousin who helped figure out the "backhaul" logistics for a potato-chip manufacturer, which meant leasing space to other companies on the chip trucks after they had dropped off loads at stores in various towns. I always enjoyed at Thanksgiving or whatever hearing him explaining what was going on in that job, but, alas, he got promoted.)

Twitter today: Murray State University is celebrating both current and former bibliophillic professionals in honor of National Library Workers Day, but will they--like celebrants of Louisville mayor Greg Fischer's 100th day in office--get cake?
