BJF: Urges all our citizens to watch video w/Strong Towns article Billy Joe Fudge writes: I know all our citizens love our community. I love our community, as you do. If you will watch this video and listen to the message with an open mind, hopefully you will begin to see why Ed, I and others continually and purposely speak about changing how we do things in our community. We do not have a grand scheme to impose our values or our concept for community development upon you, our fellow citizens in order to establish a name for ourselves. We do realize, however, that the way we are currently doing things is not improving our community but is actually contributing to its deterioration. This is not because our leaders who support the status quo are bad people but because they like all the rest of us have fallen into this transportation trap. All our community leaders and all of us should be able to see "the handwriting on the wall" after watching and thinking about the way things are, how they got that way and how we can very simply and over time change the way we do things. - Billy Joe FudgeComments re article 76813 Kentucky Heritage Council Strong Towns Conference Sept 2425 2015-08-02 12:01:22 | Comments | Printable version

People driving slow bother me; I know I should be laid back, but I'm not wired that way. I constantly look for ways to do a job easier or faster; don't know why. but I do. Slow just bothered me and I know slow people have as much right as I have to be in a rush.

COF: Conundrums, from Knifley thinker This is the first item from a Great Thinker in this morning's CM mail. It came, as an astute observer would know it must have, from the Epicenter of Great Thought, Knifley, KY, where the Second Annual Revisit Knifley, Saturday, September 12, 2015, is just about upon on us. (More on that, directly). Now ponder what follows, aforewarned that the questions can split the head of an ordinary thinker like a ripe watermelon: COF writes: Most of my kith and kin are aware of my predilection for the offbeat and quirky, such as inverse morphisms and the inanity of my favorite philosopher - Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra. To that end, I thought maybe the CM congregation could answer some of the puzzlements posed by someone way more offbeat and quirky than I could ever rise to. Here are some classic musings by George Carlin that have caused much cogitation across the KU Round Table:
