Day 200

#np - Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses

This day dawned and UK is playing in the national championship tomorrow.  Yesterday was a good day.

And for those of us that celebrated responsibly, we can enjoy it without fearing that a video or picture will get us arrested.  Personally, I walked through one of the crowded celebration sites near UK's campus, had a beer at a bar, and then got some cheese bread at a local pizza place. 

They closed off the streets near a strip of restaurants to make sure people stayed safe

I don't really see the point in setting things on fire.  And I don't think it's me getting older that makes me think that's stupid.  FIRE IS STUPID!  It is unforgiving and dangerous.  And when everyone is drunk, it's hard to recognize the danger and control it properly.  Thank goodness for the men and women of the Lexington and UK Police Departments for keeping the order.  

They ensured we could all celebrate safely

The chaos of Lexington was restricted to a couple of areas that are full of off-campus student housing.  Not all UK students or UK fans are like that though.  Some of us just wanted to participate in the CATS cheer, share a pint of beer with friends, and then walk home so they can do homework the next day.  

Ugh, homework.
