Post Office mystery dog identified, lives next door: He's Buddy 2018-02-13 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Twice last week photos were run of a mystery dog that appeared for several hours a day, checking out every patron, at the US Post Office on Burkesville Street. Today the mystery was solved when I came out of the building and heard a voice call from the neighbor's property, "Here Buddy, come here!" The mystery dog came alert, lunged past and bounded toward the voice of Houston Murray, leaning against a tree in the yard next door. He said Buddy is a five-month-old mix and lives in the garage. When he's let out to play each day, Houston had no idea his dog had become a puzzle at the Post Office. It's good to know the curious dog has a good home. - LW.

Burkesville Street Phase, Downtown Project - Tue 13 Feb 2018 2018-02-13 - Intersection of E Frazier Avenue and Burkesville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo. Stotts Construction Co., Inc. has installed new waterlines to the intersection of Burkesville Street at its intersection with West (lower part of the picture) and East Frazier Avenue at the close of work on Tuesday, February 13, 2018. The caged trackhoe is inside a bore pit being dug to continue directional drilling from this point by the Columbia Masonic Lodge Building into the 500 block of Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY. Despite signs, workers were put at great risk by a few motorists whose speed was estimated at 45-55- and even 65 mph cresting the hill - until a state inspector in a KYTC vehicle activated flashing blue lights, after which traffic was described as more like a slow moving funeral procession. The City is working on two solutions the the speeding: One is the installation of a KYTC flashing sign, a loaner, or parking police cars with lights flashing to protect construction workers. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Oh, the places he will go now that he is a licensed driver 2018-02-13 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Congratulations Jonathan Graham Waggener! The little boy who stole our hearts as first grandchild in 2001 became a licensed driver today, 13 February 2018. He is pictured here pondering the cat monster photo his dad and granddad created with their first Photoshop software at ColumbiaMagazine.com. Seems like just yesterday he was a baby, then a toddler, then starting school, and in the blink of an eye he is an adult. -- Linda Waggener, named Mema by GW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
