Kentucky Color: Nobody Home and More

By Billy Joe Fudge

I bet this old American beech (photo with article) has been a home or a hideout for hundreds, if not thousands, of squirrels, raccoons, possums and more, over the last hundred or so years! However, I knocked and no one answered the door. So I assume there was nobody home.

On another note, after being on this old Earth and in the woods for over 70 years I was blessed to see something I had never seen before today. I was sashaying through the woods by myself, identifying and estimating the board footage in a timber stand when I heard a Redtail Hawk screeching like I had never before heard. Redtails will screech to startle their next meal into bolting for cover but this was different. It was loud with a lot of inflection.

Letter: Do surrounding counties have the same issues?

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
A couple of questions keep popping up in my mind after seeing police reports on CM concerning the arrest of out of town folk on drug related charges. First, are other surrounding communities experiencing the same phenomenon? Secondly, and if it is somewhat unique to our small community, is there some magnet pulling them to here?
