Caution in regards to all the people wanting to move here from New York and California as well as many other heavily populated cities across the country, as well as those wanting to visit.

Before you come to Kentucky to visit you must be aware of what is happening here.
There's a housing shortage, rent has tripled, and folks are vacationing here in record numbers...
So if you plan on moving here, or just plan on vacationing in our woods, river bottoms, or lakes this summer, I think you should know that wolf spiders, fire ants and bedbugs have infested hotels and motels across the area due to dryer than usual weather. The woods will eat you alive with ticks and chiggers.

Our lakes are full of gators, fresh water sharks, and creepy old guys wearing speedos
Our rivers are full of drunks in tubes peeing themselves while the banjo players lay waiting in the bushes
Mountain lions have eaten many domesticated animals and possibly some small children.
The local bear and coyote population are all 'in heat' and think your wife/girlfriend is hot.
Snakes... don’t even get me started on the water headed copper moccasins here and the diamond back rattle Cobras

The poison ivy has overtaken all other vegetation
We have had bear sightings at every park and town they are after your picnic baskets….and some cougars have been spotted in motel rooms.
Watch out for the jackalopes; they have been extremely aggressive this season.
We have Bigfoot invading our parks and it’s their mating season. Porcupines are "stabbing" small children should they dare to utilize the local playground equipment.
Skunks have made their way over and multiplied at unprecedented rates and wander the local campgrounds in packs looking for beer.

Murder hornets!?! We’ve got great black clouds of murder hornets, and swarms of giant crickets and even some Alabama grasshoppers.
Scorpions have been congregating in massive quantities under rocks, logs, wooden steps, automobiles, and tarantulas are now stealing peoples food and biting like crazy.

I’m pretty sure all private tiger owners (we had a jump in them after Tiger King) have released their cats into the streets of our cities and towns.
Head lice now fly and we have vampire bats.

Oh and no one is vaccinated!
And the only thing all our restaurants serve is fried catfish and tater tots.

Come at your own risk!


I hear Florida and Texas are really nice though...







HAHAHAH,



Thats perfect..

Crazee, Saturday was a "get my wife out of the house and get some fresh air" ride. Been wanting to rent a fishing boat but the state parks charge over $200 for 4 hours. Found a little resort out of Benton to rent a bass boat for $100/day. We thought while the weather was nice we'd drive down to see if we could find the place. That led to a trip through the LBL and driving through the elk and bison prairie. She was pretty sore when we got home but enjoyed it.

It was wonderful to see Louisville and Kentucky in the spotlight yesterday in a positive way with the KY Derby. People from around the country and some from around the world looked like they had a grand time and enjoyed their visit. It was great for me to see some old traditions still alive and well. I'm not sure what the attendance was for the race but I heard one newscaster say it was close to 150,000 people. One of my friends from CA texted me stating how beautiful KY looks.
The horse beating 80-1 odds to win I believe was a last minute local entry from one of the Lexington or central KY area horse farms.

Fall color has been really beautiful this year. I've been told it's because of below normal rainfall. I believe the foliage here can give New England a run for their money.

This looks every bit as nice as what I'm seeing in NY state this year.

Not everyone in NY and CA are insane. There are lots of good people in those states who would genuinely love KY. it's not their fault they were born in places run by loonatics
