Only In Kentucky, Y’All #2

When your alarm clicks on in the morning, do you listen to the radio? Do you hear music? Or news? I used to. I used to get my local news via the radio from 5:45-6:00 a.m., starting each day with a pleasant rush of information that is useful to me as a citizen. However, the pitchfork-wielding, hay chewing yahoos that give The ‘Tucky a bad name have gone and hillbillied that up too.

Now, every morning, I get out of bed refreshed by knowing the exact currency that can be exchanged for every type of livestock or farm animal in existence. It’s like MSNBC, but for pigs, sheep and cows.

If they throw goats into the mix I’m putting a For Sale sign in my front yard with a quickness.

i wake up to a gentle ringing, which i have actually been able to hear lately.....we'll see how long that lasts!

I'd like to swap you, then. For 26.5 years I never needed an alarm or woke up before the alarm sounded. Now I couldn't be roused even by a road flare stuck up my nose.

I have had to go to a dual approach. I set the cell phone on the table next me and then the alarm that had a past life as a foghorn across the room. Therefore I HAVE to get out of bed to turn it off. It's a good system.

Ouch. Enough said.

Brian, I have to bust you here - it's more like 26.8 years. It's only about 2.5 months til your birthday.

Did You Know?

Showing my age

I apparently inherited my father's hair genes. I started sprouting silver hairs around age nine. By this point, each time I get my hair cut my stylist has learned to just stop suggesting that I dye my hair. I'll be almost entirely silver any year now.

And it's silver. Not grey. OK?
