Hail and Wind Storm

We got hit pretty hard with some major wind and hail yesterday.  I took some pictures of the hail about an hour after the storm passed.  I was dealing with a leaky window at first, so the hail has melted some since it first fell.  The local news reported winds from 60 to 70 mph during the storm.

Worst States for Tickets

The National Motorists Association (NMA) recently published their ranking of the worst places to drive (based on what they call unfair traffic laws and public monitoring).  The tri-state area ranks both high and low on the list with Ohio in second place, Indiana at 43rd, and Kentucky at 46th (out of the 50 states).

The NMA was established in 1982 in part to protest the national 55 mph speed limit.  The currently work for more reasonable speed limits and fight for better driver training, fair enforcement practices, and important privacy protections.
