Summer here doesn't exactly make "Chapel Thrill" live up to its nickname. The buses are emptier, the quad is quieter and life happens as slowly as the summer breeze.
Even the night life is low-key. Entertainment is hard to come by between basketball and football seasons.

As a writer, I consider myself to be, above all, an observer of people - not in the binocular-brandishing fashion of a stalker, or in the syringe-wielding manner of one who experiments on rats.
No, I prefer to think of it artistically and anthropologically, as if I'm a full time ethnographer.

The plain truth we are confronting today is this: Cheap energy in any form - oil, gas, whatever - is gone forever. Expensive gasoline is here to stay. But from observing many of the media's so-called experts, it seems we as a society have not acknowledged this fact.

Late last month, the city of Lexington announced that it would do something innovative with existing infrastructure. No, of course I don't mean preserving historically or economically significant buildings and local businesses; Lexington would never think to do that.

Every time Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is called to testify in a hearing before the Joint Economic Committee in Congress, he hears essentially the same line of questioning from Rep. Ron Paul. Paul asks him such things as, if the economic problem the Fed is trying to fix is high inflation, and the Fed's proposed solution is adding to the money supply (read: more inflation), how that could ever fix the problem.

Just out of curiosity, as an avid UK fan, mother of a former student and employee of UK, what's up with the fact that in a time of budget cuts due to funding and raising student costs the only one person ranks a bonus when all those hard working employees making him look so good don't even get their modest 2 percent raise?
Does President Lee Todd not open the windows of his ivory tower long enough to hear how disgruntled most of his employees and students really are?
The budget cuts in the departments that may not put UK in the top-20 bracket, but they have brought the university quite a bit of versatility and notoriety.

In recent months, the rising cost at the pumps has been a major headliner in numerous news and media outlets across the United States. The price of gasoline is a hot topic on the political agenda, especially with the upcoming presidential election. Thousands across the nation worry how they will fuel their vehicles, and many have had to make lifestyle changes to accommodate the rising costs.

If you've been keeping up with my writing the last few weeks, you probably have a good idea about my beliefs regarding our university's lack of regard for students. As of yet, I still lack contrary evidence to show that my rebukes of UK are ill-informed or misplaced.

For as many as 1 million summer travelers, the already monumental headache of flying will only be worse this summer, and not for the reasons you might think.
