Kentucky Ice Storm Photos
I’ve been without power for two days in sub-freezing temps in Kentucky (outside Louisville). Guess what? Kentucky is NOT set up for this type of storm…no shelters, no Red Cross, no FEMA. Many spots in Louisville now have power, but we’ve been warned that it may go out again with the upcoming storm or with any wind gusts – ice still on trees, limbs and trees are fragile.
Happy Birthday, Simpson Family!
On this day in 1989, The Simpsons made their full-time TV debut. The Simpsons first appeared in short skits on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987. Three years later, the family held its own against the most popular shows on television. Matt Groening created The Simpsons. Best known for his cartoon strip, “Life is Hell,” his Simpson family penetrated minds the world over with their screwball approach to life during the past 19 years.
Just Where IS Uncle Fester?
I don’t pay much attention to Boy George anymore, which would explain my delight when I viewed a photograph of him today. For some reason, I felt an urge to watch an Addams Family DVD. I wonder why? Could be that Boy George may have a new future in film!

The KKK Now
I once owned a KKK outfit owned by my grandmother (KKK = Ku Klux Klan – warning – this will take you to the actual KKK Website, so you may not want to contribute to their online numbers) . What happened to that canvas-like outfit? I don’t know…I left it at her house, and I believe a cousin took it (and you know which cousin you are…as do all the other cousins). That loss – which is tantamount to a Chicago museum loss – doesn’t matter so much as how and why my grandparents joined the KKK in the early 1940s in the south in the first place.
