I made my trip to Kentucky the weekend before election day, and the signs were plentiful. In Union County, you saw a lot of these hand-painted blue signs for Brandon Girten, who was running for county jailer. If you've been following this page for a little while, you'll recall that I think that "Let's Go Brandon" thing is about the dumbest thing a bunch of rednecks have come up with since they started mixing Mountain Dew with Popov from a plastic jug, but I thought Brandon Girten's adoption of it was kind of inspired. It didn't do him any good, though. He lost the election to Jason Newton.
Another sign I saw along the way was for Dakota Jones, who was running for county magistrate. This tells me that all those babies that Kentucky parents were naming things like Dakota or Dalton or Madison in the 1990s are old enough to hold office. I worked for a while in an elementary school in the late '90s and saw four dozen boys named Dakota. Now Dakota Jones is the 4th District Magistrate from Union County.
Editor's Note: In Kentucky, a magistrate is an elected representative from a specific district in a county who serves on the Fiscal Court. Contrary to what the name implies, the Fiscal Court is not a judicial body. It's the executive body that governs the county, like a county council. It's led by the county Judge-Executive, who is not really a judge.

Ryan Jenson
Invented precision drones for farms
Ryan Jenson invented a precision agriculture drone during a conversation about spraying wheat crops. Why spray everywhere, he questioned; why not just where it's needed?
"I figured you could do it with robots," Jenson says, and HoneyComb Corp. was born.
Jenson, 28, not only grew up on a 100-acre farm in Eagle Creek, Ore., he also started studying college-level engineering at 14 years old. He earned his bachelor's and later his master’s in mechanical engineering from Portland State.
At HoneyComb Jenson and two friends, who are now his business partners, merged aerospace systems and remote sensing to invent a drone that locates problem areas in agriculture or forested lands.
"There's not a system in place today that's tailored to agriculture like this," Jenson says. "We developed it on our own."
The company is Jenson's second; he partnered with PSU professor Mark Weislogel to form a business that deals with space systems.
"I always wanted to start my own company and do my own thing," Jenson says. "Everyone in my family has their own company—it's in my DNA."
Jenson finds validation in his companies' sure trajectory. His space systems work is entering another phase and the HoneyComb drone is already generating sales. By 2015, Jenson plans on global expansion.
"Once you start building and creating your own vision of things, you realize it's doable," he says. "We're bringing technology to a place where people didn't think it was possible and having an impact."
for Paul Wong.....
He's a musician I care much about. But I'm not sure if he feels so. He's cold, but he seems to be burning in the heart.
Sorry, I don't know what I'm trying to say. Feel it if you can.
For some reason, this is not really like I usually do. Black and white and a bit simple. Simple yet meaningful, like my has been.
I read these comics over and over as a child: slim A4 volumes of bandes désinées translated from the French. What strikes me now is how lovingly they seek to mimic the world, gestures, characters and interactions of the actual Hollywood Western - John Ford's especially, no doubt. All these corny sequences seem direct homages to scenes with John Wayne and Victor McLaglen (and here, why not, that random sweetheart Angie Dickinson) -- perhaps written and drawn by cavalry fans from almost the same generation as the Cahiers directors and critics whose quirky romance with Hollywood issued in so many of the most enduring themes and tones of the last fifty years.
