In Feb. 18 IssueIt’s Tuesday night and just finished watching UK and Mississippi State. A heart thumping game.We wish they wouldn’t put that much stress on us. Chanson is going to UK next year and we are so glad his registration card says David C. Davenport. With a little gray hair dye, there is no reason we cannot fit right in the freshman section at all ballgames.
How about all this snow and cold. We have just about had enough and we ‘re ready for warmer weather, of course no one asked us what we wanted.
Hey, we know. We will ask Mickey Garner to proclaim spring, make the snow stop and warm weather appear. He and his followers are proclaimers of many things.
The birds are chirping already.

An old man, a boy and a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe their critics were right, so they changed positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, “What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.” So they then decided they'd both walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well... Kiss your axx goodbye!
So be careful today or you may loose your donkey.
