Not sure what your plans include, but if you haven't seen the KY Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Frankfort, it's worth a visit.

Smoking Pig Tavern in Falmouth has pretty damn good ribs!

Great roads in the area:  227 from Stamping Ground to Owenton, 607 from 127 to Corinth (check GM for one REALLY bad corner!), 165 from 68 to Powersville.

I am not ashamed to say that the thought of saving some for you never crossed my mind.

Secretariat. If you never saw her Belmont run, Google it. Won by 31 lengths and a 1.5 mile in 2:24. 50 years later no horse has ever come close.

Secretariat was a boy.  The movie about him starring Diane Lane was really good.  His heart was said to be 2.5 times the size of the average horses heart.  That is all.

So, you're saying his red blood cell count was unfairly larger than his opponents? That's called "cheating".

How many "average" horses are in the Belmont?
