The Copper Country Cycling Team here in their Copper Truck 2013-10-05 - Monroe Street, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A Copper Country Cycling Teamcopper sag wagon from Michigan Tech passed by the copper toned Adair Regional Jail very early this morning on their way to the Mountain Bike Races at the Lindsey Wilson Cycling Downhill Track on Bomar Heights (behind the former Aaron Medical Center). Alex Schultz and Chris LaBaere, engineering students, weren't lost - they were looking for a good breakfast, and found one and were joined by four other of their teammates, in downtown. Michigan Tech is in Houghton, Michigan, well south of the arctic circle, even south of Canada, and is in the Upper Peninsula. Their country, the U.P., is separated from that other part of the state by a big bridge; hence their affectionate term for the area, the Troll Peninsula. For the Troll under the bridge.

(Ad) Moon & Stars watermelons like strawberry plant bed 2013-10-05 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Jana Esch. These moon & stars watermelons - came from a rogue watermelon plant in my strawberry bed that I let have its way. Normally these melons are a small variety but they must have liked the rich dirt in the raised bed. The largest one measures over 17 inches high and, according to my husband, is very heavy! Barbara Armitage will be bringing scales to the Farmer's Market on the Square for the "official" weigh-in. As an appreciation gift to my customers, I will be giving these watermelons to the first two customers who purchase $15.00 or more at my Just Natural Products booth. - Jana Esch Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
