Too much excitement: Cool Springs incomers' Holy COW moment Even the interesting times of the past week (old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times) haven't shaken the enthusiasm of the Babins, still eager to settle in their new home in the Cool Springs area of Adair County, KY Click on headline or complete letter By Guy & Aline Babin As my wife Aline and I sat in the snow-bound Baltimore airport during the recent blizzard trying to get to Charleston, SC for our son's graduation from Navy nuclear power school, we figured we'd check in on the goings-on-in Columbia. Holy COW!!! Corvettes falling into the abyss. Explosions with 400' fireballs in the sky in Knifley--exactly what's going on here, dear??? Our sincere and apparently naive intent was to find peace, quiet, and relish our ardent joy for the verdant offerings in our Gradyville corner of south central Kentucky. Reading the recent headlines, our resolve and anticipation for our quest were a tad shaken... You see just this past September, Aline and I were standing directly on top of that very sink hole in Bowling Green at the Corvette Mecca - I guess you just never know. Aline doesn't really like Vetts much, but she is a patient wife and frequently indulges the whims of her age-repressed spousal unit. Just think how mad she would've been if she'd been swallowed-up in a karst hole with a bunch of obsolete two-seaters and her car crazy husband! It would have been very ugly, believe me.... Hopefully these recent events will be more than enough excitement for a while in our new domicile. Also; and most importantly, it seems that nobody was seriously hurt--thank goodness! We're making a trip the first week of March to bring another load to paradise--excitement 'n all. Resilient and not a bit skittish, it'll take more than the recent excitement to get rid of us Kentucky. You're stuck with us--for better, or worse. Aside: We'd like to share a cup of Joe (and/or some sausage, biscuits and gravy) with some of the regulars at a favorite gathering spot when we come in March--if you'll grant us the yet unearned honor that is. We promise to leave our carpet bags, and from-off attitudes behind. - Guy & Aline Babin This story was posted on 2014-02-16 04:44:10
