Daily News for Wednesday, August 23, 2017
Carol Perkins: Going on strict Tv news watching limit Watches only morning local news and news at five; she still trusts WBKO to be unbiased. She's had enough of hate. She says, We can do better, but it will take the silent majority to say, Enough is enough.. No more violence, destruction, or bullying.

Dan Wilson, Russell County, KY: Monday a Day of Awe from Sky Tens of thousands of people traveling east was amazing, too Daniel G Wilson writes: Reference to the split sunset, I observed the same thing on the Pennyrile Parkway traveling from Hopkinsville, KY. At that time, I was on the phone speaking with my mother in Russell Springs, KY and she made comment that she could see the same thing as well. Monday was a "Day of Awe" from the sky.
