Kentucky Color: Longhorns, old and new 2011-12-31 - Inroad, Fairplay Road, District 3, Adair County, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. - Travis Coomer's little Longhorn herd at the bottom of "Dug Hill" on the Grace and Dewey Turner place is growing by leaps and bounds, whatever that means. Every few days there seems to be a new addition. The two white calves, right down to their blackish red ears, are carbon copies of their daddy who is standing in the background over by the old house. He seems to be admiring his family from afar. -Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester, Kentucky Division of Forestry. If you go: If you'd like to drive by the farm, it's only 12 miles from the Historic Adair County Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY to Inroad via Jamestown Street and Fairplay Road/KY 704. Picnic snacks, bear and big cat reports, are available at the store Travis Coomer recently reopened in downtown Fairplay, KY. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The Lindsey Wilson Water Tower appears larger, top photo at the Jamestown Street and Hurt Street Intersection light than it does one-tenth of a mile closer at the light at Jamestown Street and Russell Road. Something here for the kiddies to learn about optical science, just to learn about why the moon appears huge some days, and some days tiny, the same distance away.
