165. Monday Edition - this is the generic name for when the comments are generic.

Some notes.

The Transportation Cabinet has erected some more of the Dr. M. L. King, Jr. Expressway signs along the through lanes on I-65. The way I wrote it is the way they've listed it on the signs. I know in Chattanooga, where there has been an MLK Highway since the 1970s, that's the way they sign it, the MLK, so that is what people tend to call it. It will be interesting to see how long it takes the Traffic Reporters in the media to start calling it something other than 65. Of course, the older folks among us will remember when it was more generally known as the "North-South Expressway" in the city and the "Kentucky Turnpike" between the Watterson and Elizabethtown.

I'm working the State Fair today in the State Democratic Party booth. I'm getting help from a variety of people - some from the Yarmuth campaign, some from the Jefferson County Attorney's Office, and a few others including MaDonna White, a former candidate for Secretary of State, and Vicki Welch, the Metro Council member from the 13th District, which includes Fairdale.

That's all for now. Happy August 20th. Congressman Yarmuth returns to Louisville today for the remainder of the August break.

Graduate of Prestonia Elementary, Durrett High, and Spalding University; the first two now-closed Jefferson County Public Schools, the latter a very small liberal arts college in downtown Louisville affiliated with the Roman Catholic Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. My vocation and avocation is politics. My favorite pastime is driving the backroads of Kentucky and southern Indiana, visiting small towns, political hangouts, courthouses, churches, and cemeteries. You are welcome to ride with me sometime.
