Whitehurst Journal: Jim's pet possum 2011-04-10 - Old Gradyville RD, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Nocturnal visitor for real Sharon Whitehurst writes: "This is the second evening that Jim has called me to come quickly and see an opossum eating from the barn cats' dish in the carport. My first attempt to photograph the creature [maybe not the same one] two weeks ago ended in a blurred image. Jim was able to open the glass door without the possum taking fright. Sadie and Sally, the barn kittens, crowded around my ankles while I tried to hold the camera steady and use the zoom. I suspect they and the possum are well acquainted and take no notice of each other," and added, "These aren't prize winning photos but they serve to prove that the nocturnal visitor was for real."

Hennymobile in Rugby, TN 2011-04-10 - Rugby, Morgan Co., TN - Photo by Margaret Taylor. Margaret and Sammy Taylor locate the neatest, often little known places near Columbia, KY. On a visit Saturday, April 9, 2011, to Rugby, TN - just 90 miles close but might as well be in the UK in the minds of most of us - they spotted this horseless carriage in the restored Utopian community just south of Jamestown, TN. They found, to their surprise, that there were only a couple of degrees of separation from home in the vehicle. Steel parts in the machine came from Adair County, from Henry Edward (still Henny to his fellow first grader at Columbia Graded 1946) Sandusky's Sandusky Steel, Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY. There's a lot more information on the community at Rugby, Tennessee at Wikipedia. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Travel: Rugby Library, Rugby, TN 2011-04-10 - Rugby, Morgan Co., TN - Photo by Margaret Taylor. Rugby, TN, is about as close geographically, as Shepherdsville, KY. It's an unforgettable community, one thinks on first seeing it. But because it isn't on many Adair Countians' beaten paths, it often fades from memory, while Shepherdsville, on every Adair Countians route to everywhere, is as familiar as a Columbia neighborhood, to most locals. Margaret Taylor took this photo of the Rugby Library trip to Rugby yesterday. And she and husband Sammy Taylor found that this little town 90 miles south of Columbia, KY, had a surprising Adair County tie.
