US…

Everyday we see another story on the news about a person getting hit by a car in Kentucky. We have a few theories about this which include, bad drivers, stupid pedestrians, or perhaps just a lot of really slow news days. So which one is it?

We have noticed that drivers here arent very good. So that theory still seems to hold up. In fact I think the drivers here are among the worst in the country, after DC, Atlanta, Florida, and Dallas. Yes I realize Florida is a state and the rest are cities, but hey the whole state seems to have a lack of good driving skills.

As we were driving home from Church the other day we saw several people try to cross a six lane road in the middle of busy traffic. It was like watching real life frogger. This theory has proved to be solid as well.

As to our final theory of slow news, I feel like there are only three types of local news stories on every day, fires, violent crimes and people getting hit by cars. I dont know exactly what that has to say about Kentucky, but it is a bit ominous and Rachel and I have made it a point to lock our doors, check the stove etc. a few times, and avoid crossing the street whenever possible.

I guess it comes down to all of the theories holding some truth. Whichever is true, if you come visit us make sure to look both ways before you cross the street. I almost tried to work a “why did the chicken cross the road” joke in, but I refrained.
