As a point of local flair, my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas won first place for "Best Lunch Stop" by the drivers and crew of the Great Race.  This follows the distinction of being the first town in the history of the race to be stopped at a second time.

The Great Race is the longest running and richest vintage automobile rally in the country.  There are over 100 cars and each car must be at least 45 years old.

Lunch in Pocahontas included a choice between a fried catfish dinner and grilled duck breast, each with full sides.  But then I always knew that the people in this little town of 6000 could cook some good catfish.  The prize was $5000 to the local library.

Just before dawn, the HD37605b-lings wake up, stretch, and wipe their eyes with their tentacles and watch their sun, HD37605, come up.

HD37605b is the 123rd planet discovered outside of our solar system. It was discovered by the new Hobby-Eberly Telescope. It's a gas giant about 2.8 times larger than Jupiter. It's located in the Orion constellation near the bright star Betelgeuse about 140 lightyears away and announced Friday.

The planet was discovered by watching it's sun do a belly dance. The gravitational pull of a planet will cause the star to wiggle. This wiggling is how all of the planets past Jupiter in our own solar system were discovered.
