The flag reminds us 2012-12-17 - Stapp Hall, 102 University Drive, Campbellsville, KY. - Photo by Linda Waggener, CU photo. The sky is dark and thunder is rolling as the lighted flag in front of Stapp Hall on the Campbellsville University campus flies at half staff, snapping so hard in the wind that it appears out of focus in this photo. The university joins the whole country in mourning with the families and community of Newtown, CT, around the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The storm will pass but the discussions of how to protect America's innocents are just beginning. -- Linda Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Travel: Scene along Tommy Bailey 'Shortcut' 2012-12-16 - 10300 New Glasgow Road, Scottsville, KY - Photo by Tommy Bailey. Tommy Bailey sends this travel advice: If you are taking a trip to Bowling Green and you get bored with Parkway and Interstate travel then get off at Glasgow and take US 31E toward Scottsville, then take 231 from Scottsville to Bowling Green. The distance is about the same, but not nearly as boring. - Tommy Bailey Photo taken mid November 2012. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
