'Laws' of Waynesburg akin to those of Earl's Ridge? 2017-07-05 - 210 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com(c). When veterans and fellow bikers saw this small plaque on the back of Bill Demrow's Motorcycle Hearse, they told the owner, "You knew Joe Gadberry, didn't you." But Demrow told them the truth, he didn't. But he learned that the late favorite son of Earl's Ridge very easily could have said it, and certainly would have approved it being on the hearse which carried him to his final resting place in Breeding, KY. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Box Turtle crossing Mt. Tussell Road 2017-07-05 - Mt. Tussell Road, not far north of Knifley, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). This box turtle - often called a terrapin in these parts - was hustling toward safety as we approached, but went inside as we got nearer. Seeing him brought up some memories and questions: 1) The memory was of Southern Kentucky 'terrapin' fancier Bob Shirley, of Edmonton, who rescued the animals and took them to a sanctuary at his home. 2) The question of whether the turtle was on his way to the mystical Mt. Tussell, which no one, yet, has identified. There is a Mt. Tussell Road. So surely there is a Mt. Tussell? and 3) While we've found out that these guys have many predators, with raccoons be the worst, but including cats who prey on their babies, whether or not any humans make them part of their diet. Couldn't find any specific 'box turtle' recipes but did find one survivalist warning that they eat poison mushrooms, and warned not to eat them.

World's most convenient outdoor vineyard? 2017-07-05 - South Central Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). We spotted this vineyard recently. The folks can do most of their harvesting under the roof of a porch. One would think there would be other advantages - including lowering air conditioning bills in the summer. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
