Appreciate the humor.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm enjoying this so much. And you are very informative. I'll have to look back at this when I get Papaw to bring out his telescope. He is very protective of it so only he unpacks and moves it. He loves this stuff too.

I bought one, I don't remember the name, for Papaw at Christmas about 2004. Now I'm anxious to put it on our patio, I can work with it thru my laptop to focus certain objects. He will have to unpack it, we haven't used it for some time. Now Science Friction has given me the sky bug. You're going to drag me out of my depression over the 10 & 1/2 hours of back surgeries and my slow recovery that I didn't count on. So, Papaw, my sons and all my family will thank you for forcing me to try harder to be up and out. I thank you too.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, child of the 50's and 60's. Watched every liftoff that was on TV, would have hitchhiked with my son to see the nighttime liftoff of Columbia except I had work the next day. Plus he and a cousin drove down watched the launch, ate, made a pit stop and drove straight home. He took great pictures the old time way.My Dad had a first heart attack(coronary thrombosis) in March 1960. He became ill one evening and we had to take him to St E in Covington in November 1966, my junior year of HS, about 10 days or a week before Thanksgiving. I know the date because I wanted him home for the holiday. He had improved during the night and the cardiologist told my Mother that she should go home to rest. It had been a cloudy night driving to the hospital. We left in the early am hours to come home and the sky was only partly cloudy. As we drove south on U.S. 27, the clear spaces in the sky was filled with shooting stars. Unlike anything I had ever seen. At home we got out of the car and my sister and brother got my Mom to bed. I had stayed outside to watch and as the sky cleared more toward dawn, the meteors were nearly constant until the sky got too light to see them. Most stunning thing I ever saw or have seen since.

We closing in on 50 years of marriage. Also four year high school sweethearts. Wouldn't change a thing, yeah I'm a romantic.

Wonder if the new principal can coach? Just wondering'.

What's with the yellow? Is it some kind of primer or sealant?

Papaw is a big star gazer.

We are planning to make the trip to Hopkinsville, if I can travel that far. I'm counting on it. Rooms are already impossible close by. Thanks for all the info, S.F.

Most people within 50 miles knows that. Don't know who is on the roster for next year.

Did Coach Hinson have his full roster from Bracken Co. on Thur. 6/1?

Exactly! It is a good academic school. So? Why? No, I don't like to see students transfer. I am old school and remember when loyalty meant something.

Not like it doesn't happen is my guess. Guess is, no one wants to put that name on it. So it is for academic reasons. Best reason of all.

Are these just graduated eighth graders? Or high school athletes who have already played at least one year at Highlands? Are they transferring for academic or athletic reasons, or in this new age just because they want to?

Congratulations to Jacob Hamilton of Bracken County Placed 5th in Boy's 1600 meter High School. Time. 4.36.68

Congratulations Taylor Clos. You have worked hard to elevate your play to this level of achievement. Time now to show us what you can really do as a Senior leader for and with your team. Gonna be fun to watch your final season at CCHS.:thumb:

Two things it should be illegal to manufacture.

Papaw was reading over my shoulder, which drives me crazy even after 53 years. Since he is still playing chef, he thinks we're roughing it. So his menu from tonight was hash brows, tomatoes drizzled with olive oil, salt and thyme and baked @ 425 degree oven, and pork loin sliced inch thick, tenderizer and pounded flat dipped in egg wash and panko crumbs and fried. Yeah, he just wanted to brag. And to think he could not boil water a year ago. Also he didn't count on being the chef for this long either. Hopefully soon I will be master of the kitchen again. Back to the thread. Zest saltines with sliced tomatoes or back in childhood bread, butter and sugar. You did say POOR.

China refuses to clamp down on North Korea. Only recent move was over coal, but that has not had any effect. Leaders in the North pay no attention to sanctions, they let their people die and could care less. Also, before anyone sends missiles into the North, they need to remember how many soldiers we have in the South. And the North knows that is a big deterrent to any action from the U.S.

WOW! Go Eagles.

Checked team.

That last possession camera shot of the ball handler in tears was priceless.

Just had camera shot of the TRUMP gang.

ICS = Ice Cream Sammich ........................:lol Thanks! That one had me searching.
