Scenic Adair County: Geraniums at or near peak 2015-08-28 - Fountain Plaza, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. This morning at 6:17amCT, one of the most compelling sights were the Adair County Garden Club's red geraniums by the fountain. Red seemed to dominate the area, and I thought of Dad, who used to indulge my need for a new Schwinn by telling me we'd go get one, and would point out that I could get either color I wanted, "Red is the prettiest color," he said. "unless you want maroon." It was his favorite color. I only mentioned a couple of times that I preferred Chelf blue. But he dispatched that notion quickly. And when Mr. Lipski took the order at Louisville Cycle, and the time came to pick the color, he'd say, authoritatively, "Red," unless it were time for Maroon. But that's a digression. There was another bit of not so trivial trivia, along the way: The "Yield" sign now has atop it a rectangular "One way," addition. Don't know who is responsible, but I bet it made Charles Grimsley smile. There should be a gambling game, with proceeds augmenting those from to the World's Greatest Sporting event - The Wacky Qwacky Duck race, coming up Labor Day, September 7, 2015 - on days and hours between traffic pileups because a wayward semi turned left at the Greensburg Street entrance to the Square, couldn't make the turn at Campbellsville, and created two hours of the most pleasurable fussing and huffing about why something had to be done, and rants about "those idiots." Could be, with something sensible like the "One way sign," we'll have to stage a downtown traffic jam or lose that tradition forever. Thinking about that loss of tradition made lose me sad, and I forgot I came to the Square to get in five laps around the sidewalks - 1 mile almost exactly, before breakfast. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Where in the World Is It? (And, can you tell what time it is?) 2015-08-27 - ????? - Photo ?????. Perhaps more people than we think will recognize this scene. It is found within the Commonwealth. And perhaps a few more will recognize the approximate time of day and, knowing the location, whether the time is Central or Eastern. - EW. As of September 16, 2016, still not a guess. AND guess what??? We'll have to do some study to remember just where it came from. Apologies, Mystery Picture fans. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

KY Afield Outdoors: HIP survey to help future hunts 2015-08-27 - Franklin Co., KY - Photo by Lee McClellan, KY Fish & Wildlife. Lawrenceburg resident David Yancy swings after a dove during a hunt on a private field in Franklin County last year. Before pursuing any migratory birds this season, hunters must complete the Harvest Information Program (H.I.P.) survey and obtain a confirmation number. The H.I.P. survey gives biologists better data to make more informed management decisions to keep populations of migratory birds, including doves, ducks and geese, bountiful in the future.
