A dog showed up in my neighborhood, in Long-hunters subdivision at around 204-205 Butler Street. It will not let me get near it as it seems afraid. I am sure it is probably someone's dog.

A Mixed Use Thoroughfare: Adair Veterans Bypass 2014-08-24 - Adair Veterans Memorial Bypass, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Early Saturday morning, August 23, 2014 was a great time in Columbia. It was the day of the most cornflower, ironweed and goldenrod was showing a lot of color, and out on the bypass, vehicular traffic shared the road with a runner, who was traveling into the traffic. It's still remembered that the bypass could have had a dedicated bike path, but the thinking back in those medieval days was, "We don't need that. We can build a place down on Russell Creek where they can ride their beyekes." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Happy chickens enjoying great perks at Blackaby Hill Farm 2014-08-24 - Blackaby Hill Farm, Adair County, KY - Photo by Lisa Blackaby. Our laying hens are finally starting to fire back up again. "Earning their keep" is what I like to call it, - Lisa Blackaby of Blackaby Hill Farm writes. She now has lots of eggs from Happy Hens for sale at local Farmers Market on the Square and the Adair Farmer's Market, and no longer has to make excuse's when there no hen's eggs. Everyone had understood when here where no duck eggs; they were disappointed, but anyone who prizes a duck egg omelet also understands ducks - notional creatures who's minds are difficult to understand. But the hen eggs - it seemed to have been getting harder and harder to make excuses for the these usually reliable members of the workforce. Incidentally, at one of the Epicurean Kentuckian kitchens, most days we prefer Blackaby Hill hens eggs. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Old Police Car at Monroe Watermelon Festival car show 2014-08-24 - Magnolia Street, Tompkinsville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Sidney Hale's old police cruiser was one of the star attractions at the big Monroe County Watermelon Festival yesterday evening on the Square in Tompkinsville, KY. It was quite an event. Through town traffic on KY 163 was maintained, but several streets around the Monroe County Courthouse - one of the Commonwealth's most pleasant - were blocked off for the event. The old cruiser was never a part of the Tompkinsville Police Department's - just 50 feet or so away from the cruiser (Google PHOTO) - equipment, but the owner is a resident of Tompkinsville.
