Since I missed the senator's Fish Fry and Conway's Shooting Expedition in Ballard County, I'll start with seeing you again at the Bean Dinner.<BR/><BR/>I had a great time but I missed the three strange looking females. If some lesbians did kick my ass in Marshall County, I'd at least amend the story to say I was in McCracken where it would be just slightly more believable.<BR/><BR/>I've seen the comments about Bartleman's even call on the attendees. A lot of people just don't like the Paxton's and Bartleman happens to be their reporter, so anything he writes is subject to criticism. I'd put it at 60/40, but you are right about some of those Democrats in attendance. They seem to shed their Party IDs on the Wednesday after the Primary. Tom Barlow (who I did not see anywhere) can attest to this.<BR/><BR/>A lot of the folks you mentioned are West Kentucky people I do not know. I did speak briefly with Senator Hubbard, for whom in 1972 I was a Page (along with the late Senator Tom Mobley of Jefferson County).<BR/><BR/>Mark Henry and I discussed the perils of growing old, what ails us, and what prescriptions we are each taking. What a way to have fun. Like you, I spoke for a minute with both Dale and Pat.<BR/><BR/>Jonathan the Bookseller disappointed many with his stand set up in the lobby of the Bean Dinner. I have to serve with him on the State Central Committee so I'll be nice. It is good to have Jennifer, Jeremy, and others at the State Party HQ so I can avoid any confrontations. As to the Party Chair, they have reported raising a ton of money in the few shorts weeks they have been in power and I have commended them for their efforts.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I know we lost a good and faithful servant when Senator Green died at such a young age. I had the privelege of knowing him and know he would have been in Frankfort - if not through there - by now. May he Rest in Peace.<BR/><BR/>I wont get into politics - imagine that on a political blog. I'm trying to figure out why one would need a gun at a banquet. (I am kidding you as best I can and I hope you are at least smiling). I do own a gun and have owned others in the past and have been trained to use them - but I never have to any degree. I did go out in the hills of southern Jefferson County and shot off several rounds when I finally graduated from college, but that is the last time I remember doing so. I have cousins and friends who schedule events between Halloween and sometime in February around which season it is and which guns need cleaning. I appreciate their enthusiasm, and usually enjoy some of their bounty in the form of white paper wrapped packages for my freezer. Like Dr. Dan, what little sportsman there is in me, tends to be at a fishing hole, preferably just below the dam at Taylorsville Lake on Salt River in Spencer County.<BR/><BR/>I'll see if I can't find you a Huey Long button. Keep writing.<BR/><BR/>Jeff Noble<BR/>Louisville, Kentucky<BR/>ohioriver606.blogspot.comJeff Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139210768209899692noreply@blogger.com
