LD parked at Foscue Creek Park, Dec 12, 2007
I'm looking forward to Foscue

Kentucky has by far the cheapest gas I've encountered so far
Now there's something I thought I'd never see again. Cheap gas. Today I headed west on Kentucky's Blue Grass Parkway and then took US 31E and US 231 south as far as Shelbyville TN. That took me through Kentucky's cheap gas country where I paid $1.789. Twice. Kentucky must be raising revenue by some means other than through gasoline taxation.

Others Choose the Path of Healing
The labor camp in Erfurt and, after the war, the refugee camp in Mainz were all I knew when I came here [from Germany] in 1947 at the age of seven. Like many camp survivors, it was not the experience itself that dogged me as much as the why of it. The why seems clearer every day: those who see themselves as victims, nations included, have license to commit these things. Others choose the path of healing.
