Kentucky Color: Great Wooded South University Research 2021-01-10 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. By Billy Joe Fudge GWSU Physics researchers have accelerated their research into an anomaly which appeared in the Space Time Continuum several decades ago and has continued to generate a flux in the Continuum itself. Our researchers from the beginning surmised that this riff was centered around the third planet from our Sun, Earth. After almost 24/7/365 effort by the department in conjunction with Space Anomaly Researchers around the world, it appears a breakthrough is imminent. Leaks from this prestigious institution seem to indicate that the breakthrough is centered around the horizontal nature of the lower buttonhole of a man's button up shirt. Given that all other button holes are vertical, it seems that this riff could have been easily avoided. Research is continuing and initial reports should be released soon.

Friendly orange cat lost or in need of good home 2021-01-09 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Phil Hanna. Update from Phil Hanna -- the orange cat has found a new forever home! This very friendly orange cat has been hanging out in the parking lot of the aparment building at 800 Page Street Some of us have been feeding it but it is looking for food in the dumpster. It very much wants to come in from the cold. He is very friendly and trusting, loves attention and is purrs nicely; He seems to have lived among humans in the recent past. He seemed to be completely at home when I let him in for some food. If you are missing your orange cat, this one may be yours; if you are looking for a friendly, people oriented cat, let's see if we can find it a home. Call me if you are interested and mayby we can find it a home. --Phil Hanna, 270-384-2894 or 270-634-2359 Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
