'Work that ought not be did?' - Cat Psychology study needed?
2018-07-20 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
One of my jobs on our fertile one-acre farm is to feed the livestock. Standard breakfast is at 6amCT. No matter how punctual, however, Blue always gives a look of "What are you waiting for? Do I have to call Cat-Abuse to get fed?" The same occurs every morning, even when breakfast is served at 5:45am or 5:40am, 5:30am, whenever. Same Blue gave me one of those looks response. This morning, in an experiment, wake up meal was backed up to 5:06am, I believe, and Blue ate ravenously, without even a "How'd ya do," for my efforts. The hypothesis is that incrementally, cat feeding could be backed up one whole day with no cat thank you. To avoid work that "ought not be did," does anyone know if this experiment has already been done. Wouldn't want to upset Blue's Circadian Rhythms unnecessarily, any less than break my own commitment to not doing work which ought not be did. Of course, if this is epitaph worthy scholarship, encouragement and funding aid appreciated. - EW Comments | Permalink

Arts Scene: Big Fish Mural, N Main Street, Jamestown, KY
2018-07-20 - North Main Street at Shelby Street, Jamestown, Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
A newly painted mural in Jamestown, KY, the capital of Russell County, defies anyone to ignore it. Many of us have watched with fascination as the art took form. Closer up, it's a study in Christian symbolism of the region. Minute details, like the "I Heart KY," compels one to search for others. Our view was from an air conditioned CRV, too near the Jamestown Police Department headquarters to allow for much lingering, but we'll head back on another lunch hour know-your-county-better-tour to see what other subtle messages are within. In perspective, on the left is the Russell County Library/Jamestown building, on the right can be seen the American Flag at the Doughboy monument, the steeple of the Jamestown Christian Church, and the roofline of the Russell County Courthouse. - EW/LW Comments | Permalink

Thiswake committee (per John Cox) of Turkey Vultures awaits its next call from the most distinctive perch on KY 92 available. Only their size in this photo indicates they are the favored vulture in this area, but in closeups, their distinctive red necks and heads certified their species. - EW. Paired photo.
