In memorium

I will miss you Dad.

The plot thickens

I mentioned previously that a local Democrat candidate for mayor of Louisville was the victim of an apparent assassination attempt.  A suspect was quickly arrested and today was released on $100K bail.

Close to home

This story is so weird,, I don’t know what to think.  When violence becomes part of politics, we have a real problem.

More on the Sierra Nevada Space Plane

I linked to an article about this Louisville-based company previously.

Here is more on the subject. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Cool space news.. with a Louisville connection

Story here.  It is a shame that this will be a non-crewed vehicle as a crewed version would be really neat.  We are entering the heyday of private spaceflight, and that is a good thing. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

It gets worse

I posted earlier about this story here.  It turns out the person that was killed was a local business owner whose business was next to where the crowd had gathered.  From the story it appears that the police have a suspect in the initial shooting, but don’t know how or who shot the business owner.

I am sure this will make things calmer

Story here.  God have mercy.

Good news of the day, of a different sort

Same theme, different aggressor.  As conservation has kicked into high gear over the last 30 years, the comeback in wildlife has been amazing.  Black bear have been spotted near Louisville, and have even swum the Ohio river to once again enter Indiana.  I live in a very suburban area, and the talk of the neighborhood the last few weeks is the two coyotes that have been spotted in the neighborhood.  I am sure they’ve shown up because of the deer and raccoons that are ever present.

Deer in the neighborhood

This.  This is why government sucks most of the time.  I am going to dig up ever old paid of glasses I can find and send them to this guy.

Defending your family

Latest chapter.  Glad the homeowner had a gun.  Interesting that the criminal was shot 6 times and had non-life threatening injuries.  I can only assume it was a .22.
