Backyard Oil Part 3 : All in all, latest episode not so bad Show had nice opening shots of Downtown Columbia, but not enough to let it sink in just how picturesque it is.

Commentary: Chimes a time to think about what God has done Hears numerous compliments about the Chimes from tourist who visit here By Sue Stivers One of the many things I love about living in Columbia is hearing the Chimes from the Columbia Baptist Church. To hear the chimes at noon and the evening gives me a few minutes to stop and thank God for allowing me to be a cancer survivor and have good health to the extent that I can be of service to my community and mankind. On week-ends I can stand at my kitchen window and find inspiration from listening to the Chimes. I also hear numerous compliments about the Chimes from tourists who visit our City and County. -Sue Stivers 2013-05-08 18:54:24 | Comments | Printable version

Derby Redux: Pennsyltuckian story about memorable Downs trip The author says his friend's weekend and description of the Derby are reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson's description in "Fear and Loathing," it was one big alcohol fueled party. (Those fans of NPR All Things Considered will be reminded of the story, May 4, 2013, A 'Decadent And Depraved' Derby With Hunter S. Thompson about the start of a lifetime friendship between the Louisville author/Gonzo journalist and the famous London illustrator Rick Steadman. Great as that story was, it's just on a par with born again Adair Countian Jackson Brower, now an ex-pat - as we see it - in his own country, Pennsylvania.) This 90 proof column is one of my personal favorites. It's best viewed on an iPad, from a Stratolounger seatbelt secured, with the bottle of Wild Turkey consumed to just below the neck, and( "My Old Kentucky Home" looped in the head. If the music in the head jumps track and louie-louies "Old Rugged Cross," stop. You're at least one drap over the line. But do make it through this story somehow, it's filled with fascinating factoids and an O. Henry ending, including the 'what might have been' they discovered on the ticket half-way back to Pittsburg.- EW By Jackson Brower, late of the Promised Land, Barnett's Creek, Adair County, KY It reminded me of a chapter out of a Hunter S. Thompson book, specifically "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". My co-worker/buddy at the major drilling company where I'm gainfully employed, told me a story worth re-telling about her and her boyfriend's weekend trip to the Kentucky Derby. On Mondays, it's customary to always ask your co-workers, "How was your weekend." The usual response is, "Not long enough," right? Well, this is one of the best answers I have ever heard in response to that question.
