Ice Storm Hits Hard
By admin | January 30, 2009
The January ‘09 ice storm that froze much of Kentucky did significant damage to my property. Dozens of branches litter my yard. The dog pen and gutters were damaged from the falling branches. Two trees will likely have to be cut down because of the damage.
It was a memorable, if not painful, experience to hear brittle cracking and see branches fall from 40 or more feet. Sadly, as I was knocking ice from one side of an ornamental tree… a significant portion from the other side just cracked and fell.
Forecast calls for more snow …

I was cute once… a long time ago, but I just don’t recall getting quite the attention that Mitchell does. See for yourself. I’m gonna have to get this kid into show business.

Noticeably absent is me, and my precision shooting, but alas, someone had to record the footage.

WKYH Was Predecessor to WYMT-TV
By admin | September 9, 2008
Way back in the day, when the milkman still delivered… when each little community had its own little store… then, there was Hazard’s TV station, WKYH, a locally grown spectacle of a broadcast station that harkens to simpler days when kids could stay out until the street lights came on.
I remember this station broadcasting from high atop a knob on LaCitadel Mountain, a ridge overlooking the little black-dusty and every-so-often water logged, i.e., flooded, town of Hazard. This was a station owned by long-time mayor of Hazard, Bill Gorman, who gave sports anchor and weatherman Joey Kessler and news anchor Bill Helton their place to shine. Enjoy…

What a funny, and well-done, video this is about a quartet of ghosts trapped in a maze and terrorized by a monster with an insatiable appetite for dots, cherries and ghosts.

So I was sitting my my couch the other day when my five-year-old traipsed through the house and channeled the spirit and talent of Queen’s Freddie Mercury.
