Every Dog Has Her Day In 2016, in Elkmont, Alabama, April Hamlin let her two-and-a-half year old bloodhound, Ludivine, outside for a quick bathroom break. Instead, Ludivine spotted a crowd of runners and decided to join them.
Her hilarious adventure became a local legend, and the race was eventually renamed the Hound Dog Half Marathon in her honor. Sometimes all it takes to become a champion is a little curiosity and an open door.
Without any training, she followed the runners onto the Elkmont Half Marathon course and completed the entire 13.1 miles. Along the way, Ludivine stopped to sniff a rabbit, wandered off to visit some cows, and even took a quick swim. Somehow, she still crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 32 minutes, and 56 seconds, finishing seventh out of 165 runners. Volunteers greeted the unexpected competitor with cheers and a finisher’s medal. Her owner was amazed, especially since Ludivine was normally much more interested in napping than running.
Veterans’ Day November 11, 2026 11 a.m. Please join us by the flagpole for a short ceremony to honor all veterans who have served our country. Of course, we will have snacks after our program, as well. 10
The High Cost of . . . By Steve Ortner I keep hearing people complain that gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon. (Obviously Steve doesn’t live in California!!)
Maple syrup at $8 for a 12-ounce bottle? About $85 a gallon. And its principal technological achievement is making pancakes sticky.
And yes, I’d love to see it at $2.00 again. But before we declare gasoline the most outrageously expensive liquid on Earth, let’s put things in perspective.
Vanilla extract at $6 for 2 ounces? That’s $384 a gallon. For $384 I expect the vanilla bean to come to my house and bake the cookies.
For $4.00, I get a gallon of gasoline. I pour it into a 4,000-pound machine, turn a key, and that gallon will haul me, my wife, the groceries, the golf clubs and half the junk in my trunk almost 30 miles down the highway.
Printer ink can cost thousands of dollars per gallon. And unlike gasoline, it sometimes refuses to come out because the printer has decided cyan is low.
Now let’s compare:
Even that $9 glass of wine deserves another look. At roughly $230 a gallon, filling a typical 15-gallon gas tank with restaurant wine would cost about $3,450.
A restaurant sells me a 5-ounce glass of wine for $9. That’s about $230 a gallon. And how far does it transport me?
Of course, after drinking 15 gallons of wine, transportation would no longer be your biggest concern.
Usually from the dinner table to the men’s room.
So, yes, $4.00 gasoline is expensive.
That’s actually a pretty impressive day’s work for $4.00
But it’s also a remarkable bargain when you think about what you’re buying. You’re purchasing enough concentrated energy to push several thousand pounds of steel, glass, groceries and humanity nearly 30 miles.
A fancy coffee shop can charge $6 for a 16ounce latte. That’s $48 a gallon. It doesn’t transport me 30 miles. It transports me from “Leave me alone” to “Okay, now you may speak.”
Meanwhile, we’ll cheerfully pay $6 for coffee, $9 for wine and $3 for water, then stand at the pump staring at the numbers like we’re watching the national debt clock.
Bottled water at a convenience store might be $2.50 for 20 ounces. That’s $16 a gallon, for something that occasionally falls out of the sky FOR FREE.
Maybe gasoline doesn’t need better pricing.
A 12-ounce energy drink at $3.50 works out to more than $37 a gallon. Apparently caffeine becomes a precious mineral once you put lightning bolts on the can.
Maybe it just needs a fancier name.
Buy one of those little 2-ounce bottles of “energy shot” for $3. That $192 a gallon. At that price, it shouldn’t give me energy; it should mow my lawn.
Put it in a 12-ounce artisan bottle and charge $14.
“Handcrafted Premium Petroleum, locally pumped, small-batch refined, with subtle notes of octane and dinosaur.”
We’ll line up around the block. 11
