Ol’ Kurmudgeon took some time off earlier this week to compensate for spending the weekend on the job at the 129th Annual Fancy Farm Picnic. I’ll be on that long road to Western Kentucky Friday.
But I’ve already written Sunday’s column on the obvious topic of the week, and it should post automatically Sunday morning. And I’ll be blogging about the politicking (and maybe a bit about the yummy food) Saturday afternoon and evening.
If you’re also headed that way and see me at the picnic or on the streets of Paducah in the evenings, come up and say howdy. Hope to see a lot of you there.

I just published a short background piece on the Fancy Farm Picnic since I grew up there and my father always loved it:
