It's just now 5pm. Not an ideal drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is mine. This van has been in the garage next to the Seelbach for at least 5 years. All the tires are flat and it's coated in dust.

But thank the heavens somebody booted this treasure! Otherwise the owner might still drive it away!

Do you have a favorite abandoned vehicle?

Heads up if you're turning eastern parkway onto 3rd because they are blocking the left lane. Zipper merging into a turn was 👌🏻

I’m sure Im not alone when I say that I hate driving in the Louisville metro area in general. Today has solidified that we are in for 60 +/- long days of commuting.

Please, let’s help each other out this summer. We can all do 3 simple things;
1) use your turn signals
2) stay off your phones
3) pay attention to what’s in front of us and not tailgate in guaranteed heavily congested traffic

There’s a lot more I could add to this list, but please y’all. Im begging, let’s make this easy on ourselves and stop driving like it’s nascar through a major construction project.

I had a dog showing signs of a tick borne illness so I took them both to get tested and they both have Ehrlichiosis. They started treatment today and I’m hopeful it is in its earliest stage.

I’ve never heard of it so i did a bit more homework on ticks in the region. Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) are the two most common in humans in the metro area. The lone star tick is responsible for Ehrlichiosis as well as its saliva causing alpha gal and can transmit within minutes after the bite.

After discovering Ehrlichiosis is also a risk to humans I tried getting tested at an urgent care, but after learning how much it would cost, gonna have to wait until my insurance kicks in. Someone on the previous post said chicks needed to be embedded for something like 72 hours in order to transfer diseases but they can be contracted in as little as 2 hours.

As someone who loves the outdoors I have fully terrified myself and will be adding chickens to my pet roster and seeing if I can train one or two as a service animal so they can protect me and take care of all the ticks I might encounter. The pic on the post are of 3 different ticks I found on myself after one outing. The smallest one is either a grown version or a different breed of some of the smallest and hardest to detect ticks I’ve ever seen. This year is the first time I’ve encountered them and they start off smaller than a small ant. Be safe out there yall.

This one I don’t understand.

We know I-65 is closing for a month on the downtown stretch here in Louisville. Maybe some people need a reminder. Maybe they don’t really know about it yet.

But - a public safety alert notification firing off the phones at 6am on the first morning of the shut down? Seriously? This isn’t an industrial accident. It doesn’t need a shelter in place. It’s a traffic inconvenience that has been publicized for quite some time.

I’m well awake now. Guess I’ll make coffee early today.

Thanks for letting me vent a little.

TL;DR: Do you know the people who work the beehives visible from the west-bound Watterson highway? Is this honey for sale!?

Full plea: Hello, friends. I come to you today in the hopes of solving a curiosity I have wondered about for the last year. If you are driving west-bound on the Watterson highway, you may have noticed a series of beehives just past the Breckenridge exit. I pass them frequently and have always been a little curious, but this last week I was finally driving by as two beekeepers were working out there and now... I can't stop thinking about it.

The photos I've attached are from Google Maps in 2024 and the amount of hives has at least doubled since then. I have a friend with less hives than that who sells easily a hundred jars of honey every season! With the amount of hives they have now, they have got to be selling this honey somewhere, and tbh, I am desperate to buy it.

I am extremely hopeful that someone will know someone and I will finally have the answers I seek! Thanks in advance for any intel lmao

Started off strong with two sacrifices on opening day.

+/- 39.5 for the entirety of the I65 shutdown?

LMPD doing LMPD things.

Hello! I’m in town for a cocktail contest from Minnesota and last minute found out I don’t have access to a heat source for tomorrow evenings competition. Without a rental car, my options are limited finding this last minute need. Amazon can’t deliver in time and I’m trying to not eat a $120 cost for a single use item I can’t fly home with.

I am willing to uber to/from. and clean/return an induction burner for Tuesday evening borrowings sake, and can return before I fly back Wednesday afternoon.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I hop on Watterson east at Southern Pkwy/3rd Street. I worried all weekend it would be a shitshow, but it wasn't bad at all. After 65, it was smooth sailing.

How was your drive this morning?

started bright and early. I could hear the jackhammers before my alarm went off!

What services have you used and were they helpful? I am making a list of resources for those that need them. You can Google these things yes, but instead of just throwing a list together and suggesting clients go there i'd love to hear your experiences and the places you've gone to that have been helpful in guiding you through your grief due to loss of a pet. Thank you so much.

Edit* I'm not looking for in-home euthanasia servicers. Just post euthanasia support for owners navigating grief. I'm hoping that people who have used these services will have feedback so effective grief counseling services can be recommended.

My mom was asked to create an event for people who are interested in DnD locally! I’m posting here to gauge interest and see if anyone wants to be updated? They would be looking for DMs (possible pay) and players who are interested in starting a community.
