From the Onion:
Kentucky DMV Introduces Game Of Chicken To Driver's Test
05.29.07
LOUISVILLE, KY— The Kentucky Department of Motor Vehicles announced yesterday that the game of chicken will be added to the state's driver's-license road test, testing prospective motorists' ability to drive directly towards one another at an accelerating speed.

"We want to make sure new drivers can handle everyday Kentucky driving scenarios," said DMV spokesman Marty Kerta

The state's test is already one of the most challenging in the nation, requiring Kentuckians to drive through stop signs, hurtle into police roadblocks, achieve at least two seconds of airborne status, and do donuts.

"If we have drivers on the road lacking these vital chicken skills, something terrible could happen—like, for instance, someone swerving away at the last second like a giant ..."

We just returned from BLT on Saturday. Was a little wetter that usual. Had showers every day and stayed cloudy. Never had a chance to even get a tan.

Our boys really liked BLT due to the location but both said it was not the "home" feeling you get when staying at OKW. Pool was nice but always crowded. Wished they had a quiet pool off to the side. Stayed in a 2BR on the 14th floor lake view over looking the pool. Great view and very nice room! Great vacation overall!

Had some Disney magic this trip. On Friday night DH & I went to stroll around Epcot instead of going to DTD with the kids. Since this was our 3rd time watching Illuminations this week we sat back towards Italy's entrance. Right before it started a CM asked if we wanted to join her in a special area to view. Of course we couldn't turn this down. She took us up to the 2nd floor balcony in Italy to watch. Oh what a view! It was truly a magical view.

Tips for leaving Epcot! We were there 3 nights.
First night we stayed we let the crowds leave and we slowly walked out. (MK closed at 12) Nice way to exit, monorail wasn't bad after the crowds dispersed.

2nd night my DS was in a hurry so we walked out with the crowds. (MK was open to 12) Bad move waited in line and was packed in monorail like a sardine!

3rd night left by way of IG and walked over to Broadwalk, but did not stay long then took bus back to MK. (MK had EH until 2:00 am) This was probable not the night to go. Bus was crowded going back to MK for EH, then there was a lot of people leaving due to end of Wishes and the end of regular hours. We sat in a long bus line just trying to enter into MK due to the extra buses picking up. Our timing was definitely off. Depending on timing next time I would consider taking a bus to DTD then back to BLT. Still liked exiting by way of IG and enjoying Broadwalk but our timing was off!

Hopes everybody has a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!

A great thing for KY and NASCAR fans. Hopefully, next year's event will be better.

 

[disney212]

I didn't personally go to the race but saw the traffic backed up on the express way, it was a mess. Still garbage every where!

As I ate popcorn shrimp for dinner I was wanting king crab claws from Fultons. Also, I wanted to be watching fireworks from Top of the World Lounge! :-D

You have a double digit countdown. There's always the Red Lobster.

 

[disney212]

Only 97 days until we are "home" for the first time! DH and I are so excited

 

[Rest&Relax]

Ah! Down to the double digit dance at last. We are 143 days to go, but hey we were just there from 6/25 - 7/2.

Going to be there for Halloween and F&W, should be a lot of fun. Enjoy yourselves on your first visit "home". Our kids loved the MNSSHP years ago. It's been a while since we did that. Where you staying?

 

[disney212]

SSR. Our home resort is BLT but it was not available. Hope you enjoyed you last trip and have fun planning your upcoming trip!

 

[Rest&Relax]

SSR is a nice resort, stayed there a couple years ago. DH & I still go over there just to eat at the Turf Club. The pool they remodeled looks nice. You should enjoy your stay there.

I am way behind in planning for the December trip. We usually don't make alot of ADR's but still need to figure out what night to do the CP and MVMCP. We do alot of resort hopping during the holidays to see all the decorations. December is always our favorite time to visit.

DH an0d I are planning on taking the entire crew in December 12. Be sure to give us the low down on which resorts to visit for decorations! Planning 19-23 with the "crew" and 24-31 with just DH, DD and DS.

Two weeks at WDW in Christmas sounds great. We have never been that time of year, but plan to one day.

DD is a senior in college and DS is in grad school, neither married or has kids so now is the perfect time!

 

[disney212]
