Danny Froggett, 77, Metcalfe County, KY (1946-2024)

Danny Bryant Froggett, 77, of Edmonton KY passed peacefully after a brief illness, Monday, January 8, 2024.

He was known as a mule and horse trader for most of his life. He became a school bus driver for the Metcalfe County School District, a job he loved. The kids and his co-workers became a big part of his life. Danny had many friends during his lifetime who continued to check on him during his illness. Those friends were from his school days, trading days, neighbors, Gallagher's, Ma's Deli, bus garage, and most of all his horse trail riding buddies. He loved his horse Buck and a good trail ride.

He chose to be cremated with no visitation and his ashes spread on his favorite trail.

What better month to reflect on this than the beginning of the year? We often forget to say, “Thank you,” because we take it for granted or assume that others know how we feel.

We'll start, THANK YOU COLUMBIA MAGAZINE READERS AND CONTRIBUTORS!

Carol Perkins: Mood Rings (2024)

Previous Column: The Wrong Coat

By Carol Perkins

In the early 1970s, two genius inventors created mood rings, and within a year, millions of women sported one of these rings and compared notes with their friends on the reason for various moods. Joshua Reynolds and Maris Ambats claimed their rings changed colors as wearers' moods or emotional states changed. They were "magical," and the sales reached one million in three months and fifteen million dollars within two years. (geekslop.com). When the fad ended, the guys' moods were violet.

Originally, there were seven colors. Black meant sorrow, depression, etc. Red meant passion or anger, depending on the day; yellow meant tense and cautious; green meant relaxed and alert; light blue meant calm; brown/gray meant nervous; and the best color was violet because it meant happy. How was a wearer supposed to remember all this?
