Watch for the spectacular ending. After they cross the finish line, Mrs. McGinnis spins out and hits Wix’s car.
Five clip montage of different races. I like it.

I didn’t stay to watch all of the soap box derby races. Too darn hot, but I was there long enough for a few photos and video.
If it wasn’t broke why did you fix it?

In the course of Life the Sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening. Flowers bloom in Spring and they die in the Autumn. So it must be also for WordPress themes…
ummm, yeah we don’t need anymore of that. My previous theme has been in use for over a year. At that time, a commenter promised that maintainership was being transferred so that new releases would continue in the future. A year later there are still no signs of life to be found. I then started to seriously look at new themes for the church website and the BrakeBlog.
Blog.txt rendered to be unmaintained.
When I started browsing the directory on wordpress.org for ideas I had two goals in mind.
- The church website and BrakeBlog would be dramatically different from each other after I make these changes. To be clear that the BrakeBlog and the church website are not the same.
- I wanted at least one theme to have a customizable image in the header.
The new theme for the church is very different from Blog.txt. Zenlite is a single column blog with no sidebar. The header is easily changeable to keep the website looking fresh. Several of the items that were in the sidebar had to be moved, unfortunately.
On this site, Simplish is very close in style to blog.txt. So close that it was a drop-in replacement. I may consider changing the fonts to those used by blog.txt. I like the look of Sans Serif-based fonts over Serif fonts.

Hopkinsville is forecast to get up to 10 inches of rain in two days. This prediction may yet come true because we’ve received 4 inches just on Saturday. There will be still more rain tonight and Sunday.
4.5 inches in the Rain Gauge
You can watch the Little River grow to be the not-so-little river online. Your tax dollar at work.
Is WKAG still independent?

NEW WAVE COMMUNICATIONS IS PURCHASING LOW POWER HOPKINSVILLE TV STATION WKAG EFFECTIVE MAY 1ST, WITH NEW WAVE SALES AND MARKETING MANAGER STEVE BUTTRAM TO BECOME THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE STATION.
I think it’s rather obvious that something had to happen or else WKAG would shutdown completely. What does this mean for the station’s news reporting? On the positive side, the station will now get a major upgrade in equipment/manpower resulting in a better quality broadcast. I’m hoping for a more robust web presence for WKAG.
The concerns I have for WKAG revolve around New Wave’s relationship with city government. During the AT&T U-verse controversy, the city failed in maintaining neutrality. Even to the point of suing AT&T to prevent U-verse from being activated. New Wave has already proven they will be very aggressive in defending their interests. If this includes manipulating the news coverage then the usefulness of WKAG will be very limited.
