Narcissus brightens post office landscape 22 Apr 2015


2015-04-24 - U.S. Post Office, 800 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY 42728 - Photo by Linda Waggener, iPhone photo.
It's a bright spot of beauty on the campus of the U.S. Postal Service 42728 in Columbia, KY: This live bouquet of Narcissus, casually captured with a cellphone camera on Wednesday, April 22, 2015. It's a fascinating plant, with shocking sex-life secrets one may not want to know, revealed in Wikipedia entry/Narcissus, and some you may, including the fact that it was once a a big time commercially grown crop. Maybe still is. - EW

Forgotten 'Historical Marker' near bottom of the Hill


2015-04-24 - Greenbriar Road, S Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
There has to be a story here. An abandoned wreck of a vehicle which crashed 50 years or more ago remains as a marker to what might have been a tragedy, but was not. It happened on the Greenbriar Ridge Road in South Adair County, not far from where Casey Fork Creek joins Harrods Fork, and where, a little while later Harrods Fork broadens as it joins Rock Lick Creek, at the dry bridge - the 'promontory point' so to speak - where Charlie Morrison Road meets Greenbriar Ridge Road. The wreck occurred before guardrails lined the hillside, when the road was little ledge one bounced up or down. Legend has it that the occupant(s) of the car walked away with only minor injuries, and the hulk was left to rust away. It would be nice to know the model and make, but there's probably not enough evidence here for even Rickie Williams to identify it. Folklore has it that the driver was a member of perhaps the greatest class ever to graduate from Adair County High School. There are probably other momentoes of events like this in Adair County. But probably none so dramatic as the time the Metcalfe County Road Grader, which, in the middle to late sixties fell off a road near Subtle deep down a valley on Fred McCullough's vast wilderness retreat. The road grader landed upside down with its blade and wheels in the air - that's a bad sign - and remained there for years. Could be there today; never heard that it had been retrieved. - EW
