So far Kentucky isn’t much different than the Midwest, but there are a few things that catch our attention.  For one thing, it seems like more people here smoke.  That may have something to do with all those tobacco fields we’ve seen here. 
The local yard sales are likely to have saddles, and monster cars are more prevalent.  We drove to Lexington to go shopping and on the way passed some of the huge horse farms - beautiful, well-groomed horses in well-groomed pastures which are marked off by miles and miles of white or black fence.  Some people are doing very well with racehorses here!
We are working at Amazon while we are in Kentucky.  We signed up for this a few months ago, but we were not informed that we would be working 10 hour shifts, or that the PM shift would be from 5 pm to 4 am.  We’ve both worked third shift in the past and couldn’t adjust to it, but we’ll give it a try.  The up side is that the job involves a lot of walking - probably 10-15 miles each day.  We want to lose some weight, and this should do it!  Yesterday was the first day that we worked the full 10 hours.  We got home at 4:30 this morning and Randy was smart enough to go to bed right away, but I couldn’t sleep so I stayed up till 5:30.  We got up at 10:30, went out for breakfast, came home and took a nap.   Eventually we hope to be able to do something besides sleep and work!
