Kentucky Derby Countdown
It's almost time....2 days until Oaks day (which incidentally schoolkids in Jefferson County, Bullitt, Oldham and other Kentucky County schools get off), which is the day I've always been to, and 3 days until Derby Day. Check out the official television schedule. The actual race is shortly after 6 PM EDT, where they'll sing "My Old Kentucky Home" (played by the University of Louisville band.
Yesterday was the Run for the Rose, which is where a bunch of local waiters & waitresses go through an obstacle course with glasses of Rose wine on a tray. Good times.
Finally, Mayor Nagin has declared it Hurricane Preparedness Month in the City of New Orleans. They're trying to figure out now how to use trains & buses to get everyone out, as there will NOT be a shelter of last result (i.e. Superdome) this time. Also, Nagin plans to do a mandatory evacuation for anything Category 2 & higher...that might be a lot of storms. On the other hand, most of the storms are supposed to hit mid-Atlantic & up.
FYI, that disturbance never came of anything...I guess we'll continue to wait for Alberto.
