Anyway we went to Lancen's ball tournament and he lost! The little tyke was so excited though and can't wait till next year. Not to mention me too. He was upset, but he got a trophy out of it, so he was happy! :)
This is My Neck of the Woods
Now my neck of the woods is really busy you might say right now. We have the rally. It's actually called the Little Sturgis Rally. And yes it's a bike rally, lot's and lot's of motorcycles. Here's what my weeks been like.

I live right on the highway, so i can see and hear everything. Personally doesn't bother me, but it does bother alot of ppl who live here though. I've sit on the breezeway every night and watched the bikes that come by. They are all headed to or coming from the airport/fairgrounds where the rally is actually held.
Us locals say, "why pay $40 to get in when I can watch it for free?" I walked Peyton to town a few nights ago, and he loved looking at the bikes. He didn't pay attention to the girls with barely nothing on though so I was like, thank God.

Much to do about Nothing
Not much we can do about this it's all over town. It's crazy having it for a full week this year, but it really hasn't seemed like it! Although it's nearly impossible to get anywhere in town..( it takes 20 mins just to get from the floodwall to pizza hut not very far folks, less than a mile!) and the roadblocks.. At least 6-7 set up from Shawneetown, Ill. to Sturgis and into Morganfield, Ky. I love how random ppl would come up to me and ask me where they could get alcohol, being there are only a few places to get it, lol. For the most part, everyone I've come in contact with have been really nice.. and so far no stories of anyone getting hurt or killed. Believe it or not, since last year, alot of ppl have opted to go to the street rally in Shawneetown which has it's own rally, yet smaller but fun all the same.

Theirs only cost $10, they have 3 different bars, and a liquor store that seems to stay open very late! Some ppl around here hate it because it sucks a little life, not much but a little life outta Little Sturgis Rally. But the only thing I can say is that you need to get what you need and stock up before the rally starts. This way you can stay in, or plan a vacation, and not bitch about it!!
I'm sure that with tonight being the last night it will get pretty crazy around here. But I'm prepared. I've got my chairs to sit on, my neighbors to bullshit with, and when the boys go to sleep some beer to drink!!
No complaining here, bring on the beads...J/k.
So what's the big to do in your town each year? This is definitely the one and only we have, once it's done, it's done. Back to the grind. Wouldn't have it any other way...unless, unless he was here.
