Dust Tracks On A Road for Black History Month By Linda Waggener Favorite recent books include an audio book discovered through the Adair Public Library's Overdrive program, Dust Tracks On A Road, by Zora Neale Hurston. I'm recommending it for a special experience during Black History Month. I laughed out loud at this from the author's autobiography: "...In the first place I was a southerner and had the map of Dixie on my tongue... the way an average southern child is raised on simile and invective. They know how to call names. It is an everyday affair to hear somebody called a mullet headed, mule eared, wall eyed, hog nosed, gator faced, shad mouthed, screw necked, goat bellied, puzzle gutted, camel backed, butt sprung, battle hamed, knock kneed, razor legged, box ankled, shovel footed, unmated so and so..."Dust Tracks on a Road is described as "Zora Neale Hurston’s candid, funny, bold, and poignant autobiography, an imaginative and exuberant account of her rise from childhood poverty in the rural South to a prominent place among the leading artists and intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance.

Kentucky Color: A Visual Mystery II By Billy Joe Fudge I've spent much of my time since 1972 assisting woodland owners in the management of their woodlands and when needed, marketing their standing timber resource to optimize their profits while practicing sustainable forestry. In my journeys crisscrossing the woodlots of The Great Wooded South, I am always, it seems, in discovery mode. Since I do not work by the hour but the job, I have the opportunity to stop and ponder various anomalies as they present themselves and oftentimes, as with this one, these anomalies turn out to be natural and scientific mysteries. Friday's "A Visual Mystery" is a wooded, man-made pond in Russell County. When it was constructed to contain what appeared to be pure, sandstone filtered spring water, it was at the edge of the hillside pasture. Since the pasture was not maintained over the past 20 to 30 years, the woodland took its natural course and reclaimed the pasture over those two or three decades. I walked up onto the small dam and was immediately intrigued by what I thought to be large ice crystals forming on the surface of the water. While pondering the pond surface to, at the very least for my own satisfaction, explain the physics of the ice crystal formation on the surface of water, I noticed that when a breeze crossed over the pond, the surface was not disturbed at all. This curiosity led me to attempt to make a few waves by touching the water surface with my trusty walking stick and I was immediately taken aback by what I found!

Letter: Still possible to shed virus Marie Freeman writes: I think the reason to continue the mask wearing and social distancing even after vaccination is because they aren't sure you can't still be infected and asymptomatic shedding the virus. I don't believe the vaccine guarantees you will not get the virus but helps guarantee it will not be as deadly if you do get it. This is a totally new virus. It's going to take a long time to establish herd immunity, even with the vaccine.Comments re: Letter: Why is caution still required after vaccination 2021-02-07 14:29:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
