About Scenic Adair Co., KY: Blind Mans Store (June 28, 2010) photo by John E. Moss

By Sheila Hare

The store known by everyone as "Blind Man's Store," was owned by my Aunt Lula and Uncle Dolphus Eastridge.It is in the Mount Zion area of Adair County, where I grew up.

When we were growing up, this was the place to go and loaf with your parents and hear old stories of times past.

My Uncle Dolphus was blinded when he was still a young man by dynamite caps which blew up in his face.

The sweet dog has been claimed by his much relieved and happy owners. Thanks so much for the advertisement, it certainly provides a much needed service!

The dog turns out to be one desperately searched for much of the past two weeks.

That dog is a real sweetie. She was on my porch yesterday morning, and didn't leave it. Just laid out on the welcome mat and relaxed.

Bears have own rules:
Don't want pictures taken with cell phones


Dave Rosenbaum explains what happened at Red River Gorge, and why Adair County Bears have never attacked anybody. Notes over-reaction
About: Hunt on for bear which attacked Springfield man

By Old Dave Rosenbaum

This Lexington Herald Leader coverage of the feller that got bear-bit in the Red River Gorge included a photograph of the bear that the gentleman took with his cell phone just prior to being attacked.

Closing the Gorge was surely a gross over-reaction to this incident.

It's apparent to me that bears just can't abide being photographed with a cell phone.
