Larry Smith, James Ray Hammond, in the snow 2013-03-01 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. James Ray Hammond stopped to chat with buddy Larry Smith right during a brief snow flurry this morning in front of the Burton Real Estate Office in downtown Columbia. Not a lot of snow, but one flake can be seen floating past Mr. Hammond's coat pocket flap, and in front of Mr. Smith's right eye. The weather rarely stops either from doing what needs to be done in Columbia. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Photo Puzzler 299-41607: A pretty water falls 2013-03-01 - ????????? - Photo by Ed Waggener. Where is it? This time we won't require street and number for the location, so many waterfalls just don't have designation; in fact, according to Justin Bailey, 911 Coordinator, he doesn't know of any Adair County waterfall with a street and number. "Some bridges, do," he said, "but to my knowledge no waterfalls have street and number. A pretty obvious answer, considering that everyone already knows that Russell Creek Bridge on KY 206 has this official address, "790 Liberty Road, Columbia, KY." Everybody knows that. To save time, there's another hint: It isn't in Russell County, where the world goes to look for the grandest waterfalls. But it may be in any of the other 7 counties in the Center of the Universe - Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, (Russell), and Taylor Counties. And there are other hints. The requirement in this one is to tell the closest town it's in AND give the reasons why.
