    My grandfather knew Colonel Sanders. He did a lot of traveling for his business, and happened through Corbin, and spent the night at the Colonel's hotel a few times. This is long before the Colonel became a celebrity. I like to think the room they have in the museum is one of the ones my grandpa stayed in. It's probably not, but it could be, and that's what I like to think.

You bought your own house recently (again, lol, that's so cool), and you're a great dad. Your channel is fun, and your subscriber list is moving pretty rapidly in the right direction.

    Ive traveled to Louisville a few times following my Clemson Tigers football team. Game day routine is The Louisville Slugger factory tour mid morning. Then head to Churchill Downs to pretend to understand horse racing for a few hours. From there its a short walk to the UofL football stadium. You can just leave your car in the race track parking lot. Its a very unique and affordable way to spend a game day. Always end the day with a Hot Brown. UofL fans are always very nice, great trip if FB is your thing. Go Cards!

    My father met Col. Sanders when he came to Australia as part of a delegation of American businesses. I have a photo of them sitting next to each other chatting at a dinner held in honour of Colonel Sanders and he's ancient and wearing his trademark white suit and string tie. It's surreal. Awesome to see where he's from.

    I'm a horse lover and I've been to the Kentucky Derby Museum but it was long ago, looks like it's time for a revisit. Your intro was filmed at the grave of Barbaro. His story is a tragic one and made me question my lifelong love of thoroughbred racing. Barbaro was a magnificent horse, undefeated when he won the 2006 Kentucky Derby by 6.5 lengths, an accomplish last achieved in the 1940s. His jockey, riding him for the first time, said he never asked Barbaro for more power or speed, that horse did it for the sheer joy of competing. I'm convinced he would have been a Triple Crown winner if he hadn't fractured his right hind leg during the Preakness just two weeks after his Derby win. It was a catastrophic and graphic injury, broadcast in real time to millions of horse racing fans around the world. He underwent surgery and rehab at the New Bolton Center, Univ of Pennsylvania. Despite the best efforts of his outstanding medical team, Barbaro developed laminitis in his left hind leg and eight months after his spectacular "Run for the Roses," America's greatest living race horse was humanely euthanized, and buried at Churchill Downs. The whole thing was traumatic and heartbreaking. Your video just sent me down a Barbaro rabbit hole on YT. I just re-watched "The Story of the Hero Barbaro" and now I'm crying again. It's a sweet little documentary. Even if you don't know or care about racing, you have to appreciate this horse's spirit.

    Thanks for this great video. I think it is one of your best. Colonel Sanders was a major celerity when I was growing up. Our family enjoyed his chicken many times. Our family always enjoyed horse racing but mostly went to our local racetracks around Philadelphia. When I got older I made it a point to go to the Kentucky Derby. I got to attend the 100th running and that attendance stood for a record Derby day for many years. The grandstand and other stands were added later so now even more people can attend on Derby Day. I have not been back to Louisville since the Derby museaum was built so thanks for giving us a tour. By the way there is another good museum for horse racing at Saratoga, NY. Where there is another old historic race track that runs what’s called the summer Derby named the Travers steak. It is run in late August and also has a big party flavor to it. Have fun continuing bringing us to places we may never get to see otherwise but do remember to take rest breaks so we can look forward to many future adventures.
