Kentucky Color: The Taming of Dug Hill 2012-05-06 - KY 704, Inroad, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Progress, nostalgia: "Dug Hill is not being replaced by the placid gentle slope of a new route but is only being tamed somewhat with more width to accommodate 21st century traffic," Billy Joe Fudge writes, and adds a melancholy note, in this Sunday's Kentucky Color,"I'm sorry but my heart laments that cars have become air conditioned, wrap around sounded, lap of luxury, transportation pods that have insulated their passengers from the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the wind in their hair sensations of driving."

Working snake: Going to dinner 2012-05-06 - South Adair County, KY - Photo by Judy Grant. My husband noticed this snake in a tree while he was sitting on our front porch today (Saturday, May 5, 2012). He said this snake was out for lunch! Tree frogs! This snake is too close for comfort for me, but it's untelling how long this snake has done this. He or she just happened to be noticed today! Against every fiber in my body, we let it live. - Judy Grant Clicking Readmore accesses a neat Sharon Whitehurst comment on the Good Snake Issue.

Breeding Fish Fry: Jess Hagan and James Ray Hammond 2012-05-05 - 290 Fire Department Lane, Breeding, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Breeding Fire Department Chaplain Jess Hagan, right, chatted with James Ray Hammond before the start of the Breeding Fire Department Fish Fry which appeared to be headed for a big evening when the photo was taken. Two positive predictors: 1) It was where the politicians were headed. Mark Polston, candidate for the State Senate, was already there. And Chris Girdler, another candidate was on his way. 2) It was where James Ray went, out of all big do's in the county, he chose the fish fry; he's perhaps Adair County's best judge of where the best food, the most people, and the most excitement will be. Tomorrow, Chaplain Hagan will be speaking at White Oak Church in eastern Adair County. He was wondering if it isn't the oldest church building still standing.
