Great conversations - big talk - always good

By Linda Waggener

The story at this link, Ham radio: A hobby still alive and thriving, is the result of a great conversation and follow up research. It has been a weekend of cousin visiting and big conversations - always good.

As a communications major, I was surprised to realize how well and truly ignorant I am of everything to do with ham radio communications - and that my cousin is well versed and licensed in it.

It lead me to wonder if there are ham radio operators in our CM readership area of Adair and surrounding counties? It would just be good to know.

Foster cat Annabelle



2021-07-25 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Lois Cunningham.
Annabelle is a foster cat. Lois Cunningham is taking care of her while a friend is recovering. Annabelle wears a diaper because her back legs don’t work enough to allow her full cat mobility. Lois is thinking about getting one of the pet mobiles to help Annabelle get around even better than she does now. Meanwhile, she pulls herself around pretty well.

Haiku by Robert Stone for July 25, 2021

When every word true,
more than true, appropriate,
remorse unlikely.

Phillip Coffey - Cast Aside

CAST ASIDE By Phillip Coffey
(Mom told me about tall mellowed singer)
Occasionally he would ride through the hills and deep valleys
Riding his favorite Sorrel mare and daring to take upon the shadows
In a deep, foreboding, sweet voice during his infrequent travels
'Wayward Stranger' - many moved to tears, others took up writing.

Now the tall, melliferous singer and his trustworthy, grayed mare
Are long gone but listen very closely - song is still reverberating
Through the forested hills and recently harvested fields - then tilling
Up the utmost expressions of sympathy for all those cast aside.

Pandemic takes another toll

Mental health becoming more of a priority.

The numbers are still preliminary, but it appears that drug overdose deaths have skyrocketed during the pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that during the 12-month period ending in May 2020, drug overdose deaths reached 81,230 -- the highest number ever recorded in such a time frame.

The CDC also reported an increase in synthetic opioids, "likely illicitly manufactured fentanyl."
