The end of the road

U.S. Wet/dry map
  • From BBC News.

*Great map from the BBC's Altered States section. Though too bad it's not more interactive. Click on it to see a larger version on BBC's website. From just eyeballing the map, it looks like we have more dry counties than any other state.

*No podcast this week. We'll return next week.

*As I think Max has predicted on the podcast or elsewhere before, it looks like Little Rock businessman, Gov. Beebe pal and Arkansas Highway commissioner John Burkhalter is eying a gubernatorial run. Jason Tolbert today dug up a Burkhalter4Governor.com website that's registered in Burkhalter's name. Sounds like a fairly epic primary battle is brewing.

Have at it

Lou Brock at the Clinton Library

Consider this an open line.

Few odds and ends.

*IF YOU'RE FEELING AIMLESS: A bunch of us from the Times will be at Revolution in the River Market tonight for the Times Musicians Showcase Finals. Should be a good time.

*LOU BROCK: Times photographer and St. Louis native Brian Chilson was thrilled to get pics of his childhood idol at the Clinton Library today. The El Dorado native was in town to kick off "Play Ball! The St. Louis Cardinals," an exhibit that opens at the library tomorrow.

*NO PODCAST: Since Max is gone, we're skipping. Sorry devoted listeners. Next week!
