Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtails: Puddling



2011-05-08 - Big Creek along Old Gradyville RD, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst.
"According to what I've read in Wikipedia, these male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies are 'puddling.' They are getting minerals from the mud and water. When males puddle, they congregate, but female Eastern Tiger Swallowtails puddle alone," Sharon Whitehurst notes.

The Whitehurst Diaries: Eastern Tiger Swallowtails

By Sharon Whitehurst.

Grandson Devin and I have been wading in the bend of Big Creek which lies across the road from our lower meadow. Devin had gotten mud to his knees while investigating footprints in the ditch; I managed to create a blister on one ankle by stomping about in rubber boots with no socks.

Dan Phillips research turns up interesting My Coca findings

Comments re article 44232 JIM MyCola or My Coca wherein orther unmuddies the waters

Dan Phillips writes:
Ed, all of my looking around the internet today has yielded these findings:
  1. in the 1910s and 1920s there were cola brands that were similar to (or knockoffs of) Coca-Cola.

  2. My Coca appears to be one of these (as does "Koke").

  3. There was at least one court case to try and get a Lexington, KY man (in 1915) from selling "My Coca" by that name.

  4. Bottle collectors sell My Coca bottles and say that they are somewhat rare and, therefore, valuable.
s/Dan Phillips
Thanks, Dan Phillips, for the the fascinating findings. Calls we are getting indicate that My Coca bottles are selling for $100 and more. More material on the bottling companies of the 1900's has been offered and will be posted as soon as possible. -EW

To EAST 80 signs not on Square in 1971

Jeffery Scott Johnson writes:
Looking at Picture 39971, taken by Maurice Hoover in 1971, it appears the signage or directional problems have been with Columbia for some time. In the picture, a vehicle coming off Cambellsville street would not have a "to EAST" 80 sign. Moreover, they tried to alleviate the problem of left hand turns on the square by augmenting with extra signs of "NO LEFT TURN" and the green signs that had the different town names with corresponding arrows. I believe both of these types of signs are not there anymore and they looked retro, non-comtemporary. -Jeffery Scott Johnson

Jim: 100 years ago, May 10, 1911

Adair Countian got into heap of trouble following raid on crap game in Lebanon, KY, and was adjudicated by the News to be bound for the electric chair. There was even trouble in peaceful Cane Valley. Mothers Day was observed by local Calvinists. Community was getting ready for Decoration Day for Unionist and ex-Confederates.. And it was a time of rains, with heavy losses at Gradyville and at Sulphur Well, where the Little Barren was acting up like it was another Big Creek! Up at the school house, at The Lindsey Wilson was holding its Spring Field Day athletic extravaganza with extravagant prizes including $1.50 worth of dental work the winner of the half-hammer contest.

By "Jim"

Two shootings made front page headlines in the May 10, 1911 News. Over in nearby Lebanon, night watchman (policeman) John Robey raided a crap game on Saturday night and arrested two individuals, one of them a native of Adair County. As Mr. Robey was on his way to the jail with the two, one of the prisoners broke free and stabbed Mr. Robey 18 times. He lived, but a few minutes, and the pair made good their escape, only to be captured the next day and hauled off to Jefferson County for safe keeping. In a closing editorial comment, the News stated that "Every thing indicates the two murderers will occupy the electric chair."

GWS Lexicon: Persistent drumbeat for dope continues

To Billy Joe Fudge, Wordmeister, of the glaringly omissive Great Wood South Lexicon:

"Jim" scribes:
My father (1911-1997), a refugee from the wilds of western Pulaski County who in the early 1930s sought surcease from sorrow within the comforting confines of the Sacred Triangle, referred to soft drinks as "dope" to his dying day. -"Jim"
CM supports this word. If it's good enough for Royville and the Sacred Triangle, it ought to be good enough for Billy Joe Fudge

BJ Fudge: De-dopification of drink came just 108 years ago

Comments re article 44232 JIM MyCola or My Coca wherein orther unmuddies the waters

Billly Joe Fudge writes:
Today is the 125th birthday of Coca Cola according to CBS's Sunday Morning. The original formula did contain small amounts of cocaine which were removed by the Coke, dope folk in 1903. - Billy Joe Fudge
Don't want to be anticipatory, but is this your evasive deflection of the the dereliction charge leveled at the GWS Lexicon about the glaring "dope," omission? The charge as specified by the learned "Jim," in Post SID 44232? JIM: My-Cola or My Coca? wherein orther unmuddies the waters???? Not sure how Adair County Grand Juries look on these matters, but me and "Jim" both know it took a heap of a lot less to dethrone School Superintendents in Russell County in the mid 1900s. -EW

Poetry by Robert Stone: A strange and distant former home

A strange and distant former home
-a sonnet for Timothy Frank Spruill
Another ordinary day was done
and sleep was welcome, came both fast and sure,
and left abruptly with the rising sun,
bequeathed recalled familiars insecure.

The sights and sounds and smells unchanged have changed
yet dare one risk the treks untakeable
and find the times and places disarranged
for careless disconnects will make a null.

A stream of special days must fill the heart.
Attention must be paid to details small.
When old must stop, some goodly new must start.
When aged is slowed, the young will have their scrawl.

Remembered blooms must fade, still bushes grow
in their ways, not ways we in dreaming know.

- Robert Stone, 8 May 2011

JIM: My-Cola or My Coca? wherein orther unmuddies the waters

Herewith, with no credit to his esteemed cousin, the Venerable Watson, "Jim" once again discovers the answer to the question of the day: My Cola or My Coca? And employs the standard deflectory device, answer a question with a question, wondering, In awed accusitiveness, why no one has entered the prime Adair County heritage word "dope," in the Great Wooded South Lexicon. He's also challenging inquisititor Marlton Loy or some other one to bring forth photographic proof of a "My Coca" bottle

By "Jim"

Many thanks to Mr. Loy for bringing this up. His question concerning My-Coca / My-Cola sent this humble scryer scurrying back fivescore and one years to clearify the mystery. (Said scryer will leave it to the gentle readers of CM to determine his measure of success, if any.)

There are no kinder people any where

"Jim" writes
Here of late, the pages of CM have been filled with reports of acts of charity and kindness, of the good people of Adair County helping others, not for fame or glory or even a pat on the back but rather, simply because it's the right thing to do.

Columbia resident Eld. Z.T. Williams recognized the altruism of Adair Countians when he took time to reflect on that very point, via a "Card of Thanks" in the pages of the News. He wrote, in part (the added emphasis is mine):
"One would become pessimistic sometimes, and think, 'No one cares,' if it were not for his times of need, when it seems every body cares."We desire through the good News to thank the men and boys, yes, the kind ladies too, who came to our help Sunday night [December 3rd], when they thought our home was about to be burned. There are no kinder people any where, than in our own Columbia." /s/ Z.T. Williams and wife and Mrs. Lizzie Grissom.

Memory is a powerful thing. We never know when an event, a song, a taste, or a smell will trigger a memory of things gone by. Memories can hurt or heal, trouble or console. The Bible is loaded with memories that are cherished and carried into subsequent generations. In Hebrew tradition memories of the Exodus and Promised Land are recalled and renewed in the religious observances of each new cohort of the faith. Memories of New Testament stories take on fresh life in the traditions and sacraments of each succeeding generation of believers.

Memory is also a powerful inspiration in modern literature. Marcel Proust (1871-1922) wrote a landmark multi-volume novel, Remembrance of Things Past, that is laden with personal memory. In that novel intense memories of childhood are revived for the narrator by the taste and aroma of a madeleine, a small cake-like cookie baked in the shape of a shell, dipped into a cup of tea.

History has not been kind to Simon Girty.

During the nineteenth century he was probably the most hated man in American history. In the trial of Daniel Webster in Benet's The Devil and Daniel Webster, Girty is rung in by the devil as a juror. "[T]here was Simon Girty, the renegade, who saw white men burned at the stake and whooped with the Indians to see them burn. His eyes were green like a catamount's, and the stains on his hunting shirt did not come from the blood of deer."

Stump Winter: Hammerhead explains in droll story

I suspect the following is just a "story," but it's a pretty good explanation of "stump winter," writes Robert Stone:
"There's always stump winter," Hammerhead said drolly.
"Stump winter? That's a new one," someone said. "What does it mean?"
"It means that your winter supply of firewood is already used up and all you have left to burn is a stump...or maybe some of that old furniture stacked out in the garage," H-man explained.

Pastor Paul A. Fryman: Living to look like Jesus

"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:44-45 NRSV


By Paul A. Fryman, pastor State Street UMC, Bowling Green, KY
Reprinted with permission of the author; submitted by Annette Richards

Children say the funniest things and more often than not they speak the truth in love. Like the father who was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore where a seagull lay dead in the sand. "Daddy, what happened to him?" the boy asked. "He died and went to Heaven," the father replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, "Did God throw him back down?"

Stump Winter last winter before it actually gets hot

Susan Bohannon writes:
Stump winter is the last winter you have before it actually gets hot. When it gets cool again after it has been warm for a while. You have to gather up all your stumps and kindling to start a fire. This is when you used to use wood stoves, back in the day. That is why it was called stump winter. -Susan Bohannon

Stump Winter: When family first out of fire wood

Leshia Fai writes:
I do not know the chronology of any of these except the obvious ones, but I do recall that stump winter is when all the burning wood is gone and you have to go bust up the stumps to burn for wood. My inclination is that this would be very deep into spring because you cannot chop down any more trees because they are already greening up - so you burn the stump wood. Linen britches is supposed to be when you have already put away your winter wardrobe and it turns cold again, so you have to drag your linen britches back out. Not sure how accurate any of this is. - Leshia Fair
