This Week in Kentucky History
The 1876 "Kentucky Meat Shower" was a bizarre meteorological event where chunks of red meat fell from the sky over a Bath County farm for several minutes. While theories at the time ranged from "cosmic meat" to supernatural signs, it is now widely believed that a large flock of vultures flying overhead startled and regurgitated their meals.
Oliver’s Questions
Turns out, our main source of inspiration for many articles is a pint-sized, 10-year-old dude (my son) who thinks he's got all the answers, forcing me into a constant state of fact-checking.
why do we change the clocks? and why is it dumb?
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
It started with a simple question at the kitchen table, the kind only a 10-year-old is brave enough to ask. I thought I had a simple answer. I had to research it myself. If you’ve ever adjusted your microwave clock with mild resentment, you might enjoy where this conversation went.
why do humans have chins? we’re the only species that does.

The other day, a perfectly normal question derailed our entire dinner conversation. It involved faces, evolution, and a feature you’ve never once thanked your body for. If you’ve got one minute and a chin, you’re going to want to read this.
Man on the Move
Go 7 Days Without Social Media
Dude, stepping away from your feeds isn’t about missing memes. It’s about hearing yourself again.
For seven days, no scrolling, no notifications, no digital applause. The withdrawal hits harder than you expected. Your thumbs twitch. Your brain reaches for the dopamine hit.
And then… silence.
The mental static clears. The endless comparisons fade. The metal noise of endless updates disappears. You hear your own priorities again.
Here’s the Move: Pick a 7-day window. Delete the apps…well, maybe just log out, or don’t touch the feeds. No exceptions.
Notice how day three feels like a vacuum. Your mind protests, but it’s not boredom. It’s clarity.
Why It Matters: Social media doesn’t just consume hours. It consumes attention, comparison, and your sense of what actually matters. When you stop letting it dictate your mental space, you reclaim perspective, creativity, and focus.
When you decide to step away for a while, you’ll learn exactly what deserves to fill your hours instead.
It’s not that you can’t live without it. It’s that you hadn’t decided what deserved your mind in the first place.

saunder springs is a hidden kentucky gem

There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a place that feels like a secret, even when it’s been there the whole time. No three-hour drive. No packed parking lots. No “influencer overlook.” Just a quiet Kentucky flex hiding in plain sight. Click in and let me show you why.

the ice cream favors that pair perfectly with a pint of guinness beer
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
I made a decision recently that may get me uninvited from a few respectable gatherings. It involved a pint, a freezer, and a question no one asked but everyone should have. If you’ve ever looked at your dessert and thought, “What if?”…this one’s for you.

Because its pecker was on its face. 😂
