Stormy evening 20 Jul 2018, in New Columbia Greater Bliss 2018-07-20 - Jamestown Street at Russell Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. This photo, at 6:53pmCT, was taken when lights were off in a large part of Columbia, including the traffic signal at the intersection of Jamestown Street & Russell Road, reportedly due to a transformer outage. In the middle right of this frame, a stop light at Jamestown Street & Hurt Street was on, as were lights in the IGA Shopping Center, McDonald's the Fiesta Mexico shopping center, and beyond. Lights appeared to be off - except for solar powered porch, garage and lawn lamps - on Russell Road to Westlake Drive, in College Park, Miller Avenue, and Jamestown Street North almost to Hometown Liquors, where lights were on. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Reunion countdown -- Flowers shares checklist of concerns 2018-07-20 - USPS, 800 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. During our how-do-you-do's at the Columbia Post Office today, Robert Flowers shared that he has some pretty serious concerns. He said, "I've got a week and one day to: 1) lose 25 pounds, 2) cover up the brown spots on my hands, and 3) get Donald Trump to teach me how to do a combover hairstyle." These sounded like pretty valid pre-reunion points of concern, especially since they are top of mind for most of us when we're in that mode. His Adair County High School class of 1968 reunion is set for Saturday, July 28, 2018 at 6pmCT in the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining and Conference Center on the campus of Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of Indiana: Ethel & Bethel & Mama Mourning Dove in shade of Hillbilly Tomato plant 2018-07-20 - S Capital Avenue, Indianapolis, IN - Photo by Beth Ann Cravens. "I was watering the garden last night and found two fat baby mourning doves. They seemed to be playing in the cool shower like children in the rain. This morning the baby doves are still in the garden. By the way, I named them Ethel and Bethel, a nickname that my cousin, Marcia Burton used to call me. Anyway, I got this picture of Ethel, Bethel, and their mama resting under the hillbilly heirloom tomatoes in our Indianapolis garden." - BETH ANN CRAVENS.
