A guest review: Dippin at the Dairy Written with humor, a bit of bias (she a known and admitted Coca-Cola-ian) and some blasphemy ("I was apprehensive to try the BBQ sandwich because I have found other establishments in Kentucky have left me disappointed"), the account is pretty accurate, and adds a touch of empathy for the plight of the Willis and Hamlett kids, when she writes,"They prefer fresh ingredients even if it means (lower profits and) their children might not go on to higher education." -EW By Pamela Mikaelian I finally experienced a long-time Columbia tradition today by eating at Columbias Dairy Dip. After perusing the menu, I opted for the pork BBQ sandwich, tater tots and a fountain drink. I was pleasantly surprised that this hit my wallet for just $5.29.

Confirmation: Billy Joe Fudge creature is Hummingbird moth About: Flowers and Insects of Adair Co., KY: Moonflower beast To Billy Joe Fudge via CM: That's what's known as a Hummingbird Moth. Nothing wrong with that image, in my opinion, Billy. Although, I didn't know that they stirred at night, I've seen them usually during the daylight hours. That's one of the largest species of its type that I ever seen. Thanks for sharing. s/Tony Harvey Thanks. Agree on the Billy Joe Fudge photograph, too. It's great, despite the photographer's Aw Shucks humility. A real spellbinder. Which leads to an interesting question for me, whether BJF will have a photograph in National Geographic first, or become poet laureate of Kentucky first? -EW 2009-06-18 10:16:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

BJ Fudge in his own defense: With a poem About: On Comment about Grandchildren made by BJ Fudge To ColumbiaMagazine.com: The definition of smart I was hoping to communicate was: Amusingly clever, witty. I am a grandchild, a child, a parent, and a grandparent and would not want to be an offense to any of the aforementioned groups or to anyone, individually. In this age which demands political correctness, I suppose I should have said, "Grandchildren are special because they are born with the knowledge and understanding that their Grandparents and Parents are equally amusingly clever and witty."
