The World of Cats: China on the roof 2017-06-25 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. A noble neighborhood cat which my late mother-in-law loved, gave sanctuary at our house, and named when it visited, "China," still comes to dinner stays a while, and establishes its reign so very dramatically. China's throne on Saturday, June 24, 2017, when we arrived home was the peak of the carport roof. Sending a message. Maybe it wasn't "I'm China. I rule," as cats are wont to do. Maybe it was this message we understood: "Remember The Lady who loved us with hospitality and food and extraordinary kindness." We wanted to talk to China, but, as most humans do, we never learned the language until after it was too late. By the way, "China" is a welcome visitor today, not only for what he meant to Geniece Marcum, but because of his magnificent beauty. We wonder what the cat's real name is, at his "real" home. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

At FM2 - Cheryl Tillery & Jerry Rados 2017-06-24 - Farmers Market on the Square, Campbellsville & Merchant Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). Cheryl Tillery and Jerry Rados of Willie Nell Road near Gradyville were at the Farmer's Market on the Square today. The devices Jerry is holding are 'boot pulls.' Should have asked whether he had made them, bought them at the market. For sure, the internationally know sword and knife maker could manufacture them if he set his mind to it. Cheryl is President of the Tebb's Bend Battlefield Association. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Local inventor Larry Smith illustrate his The Real Coffee Cup Amplifier 2017-06-24 - Farmer\'s Market on the Square, Merchant & Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). Larry Smith, who maintains a collection of radio artifacts, demonstrated a working model of his coffee cup telephone amplifier. This was live streaming Shoreline Communications latest acquisition, WDKO, Liberty, KY using a FM2 coffee cup. His extensive research so far with many cups is that the biggest McDonald's cup gives maximum surge in volume. The amplifier idea comes with a caveat: The cup must be dry, both for maximum sound, and because most or all cellphones aren't hot coffee immersible. Larry Smith is the voice of FM 99.99 the Big Dawg; and today, the Oldies DJ for sister station WAVE, 92.7 FM, Russell Springs/Columbia. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
