Health? Entertainment? Link on Fidget Spinners article

They're coming everywhere. (Maybe to a barber shop near you.) And they maybe the hula hoop of our age. So far, suckers that we are to be early adopters, we haven't bought yet, much less had time for due diligences prior to making the high dollar - for us - investment, much less do the research and subsequent treatise Vox has completed. But we can provide a link to the story: Wading through the benefits-distractions of fidget spinners.
A good Sunday afternoon enlightenment read.

A good turnout was on hand May 13, 2017 to help dedicate the new six-unit Holmes Bend Suites & Meeting Room.

Holmes, or Holmes Bend, was the name of this northwestern Adair County area before the lake was impounded around 1970. There were two previous owners before David Lewis Butler and his wife purchased the dock in 1986.

Since 2003 Kelly Butler Caldwell and her husband Joey have been handling day to day operations of the 20-acre property.

The Time Gov. Happy Chandler Sang at the Adair Co. Courthouse

CM COMMENT: This is a must read today, for enlightenment and entertainment, and as a simple test to know if one is really a Kentuckian or not. If you read this story and/or listen to the embedded rendition of "My Old Kentucky Home" and don't get goosebumps, think of yourself as one who doesn't belong here. If tears are in your eyes, count yourself in a state of eternal grace as a Child of the Commonwealth. The visit to Columbia was sandwiched in between Happy's stops in Sulphur Well and Cane Valley and Coburg. Thank you, thank you. Mr. Mike Watson, for making our day. - EW

Adair County Historian

Perhaps every Kentuckian can remember hearing former Governor A.B. "Happy" Chandler sing "My Old Kentucky Home." If not, you should. A brief search of YouTube will bring a just-short-of three minute rendition.
