Everybody Cut Footloose!

"I've been working so hard, I'm punching my card, eight hours for what?, Oh, tell me what I got. I've got this feeling, that time's just holding me down, I'll hit the ceiling or else I'll tear up this town, tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes. . ."

Thanks to GoFoBo.com, I saw a sneak preview of the remake of Footloose last night.  I never was a huge fan of the first Footloose movie, made in 1984.  Kevin Bacon dancing?  John Lithgow as the preacher?  A town that bans dancing?  It all seemed so silly, although I did like some of the songs on the soundtrack.

Weekend weather gives a good soaking, knocks out power for some [News]

Greater Louisville saw quite a bit of rain over the weekend causing local flooding and power outages. For many, the rain causes plan changes but for others, it's just another day.
After a couple days of steady downpours and severe thunderstorms, the river is approaching flood stage and approximately 1,000 LG&E customers are without power. Over the last three days, we have seen approximately 1.75 inches of rainfall. Louisville is still about a half inch below normal for this time of year, and those living or working in the greater metro area are under a flood watch until 4 p.m. Monday afternoon.
