  • Noise

    I suffer from a rare malady. It’s called Unintentional Clamor Syndrome. Basically, the more I try to be quiet, the louder I become. When my condition is active I will manage to tip over objects which have been in the same location for years. The ensuing crash is usually spectacular and deafening. Once I’ve created an unexpected noise it is guaranteed to cause the dogs to bark, the cats to flee, my mother-in law to drop a stitch in her knitting, and the neighbors to shake their heads in dismay.

  • Tiny Comets

    My family and I were watching a Doomsday movie about a pair of rogue comets hitting the Earth causing an extinction level event. I really don’t know why I watch these kinds of movies because I am always disturbed afterwards and have trouble sleeping. I have insomnia so these worries about extinction level events do nothing to help me sleep; so I experience 4:30 a.m. This part of the morning is the time when my worries about all things dark and gloomy hold sway over my thoughts.

  • Hair

    I have come to the realization that the amount of time, energy and stress invested in hair is simply not worth the effort. When I was younger I would agonize for hours over my hair. Using mousse, curling irons, blow dryers and more mousse I would fuss and fret, rewash, use more mousse and finally leave the bathroom with my hair looking pretty much the same. I’m not certain what look I was trying to achieve but I never seemed to meet that objective.

  • So This Is Halloween?

    What has happened to Halloween?  Every year I launch into the planning and development phase of my All Hallows Eve décor. I develop a theme, search for props, and throw myself headlong into the project. Last year I saw a decoration with an intriguing name at a particular store. As I considered this item I was disappointed in the lack of imagination that went into the design. Stealing the name, I immediately began to plan my vision.

    The Bedford city commissioners are concerned about the city’s liability insurance. Mayor Jim Black said at the last city meeting that while the insurance company had not yet received any letters regarding the situation yet, there could be little or no notice of the city’s insurance being cancelled. Black said that the city’s insurance comes due January 8 but if the policy is renewed, the commission could expect a 30, 40 or 50 percent increase in rates.

    This article will deviate slightly from my usual nonsense. True to form the subject matter will describe experiences to which we can all relate. However, the subject is bittersweet; although not completely lacking in nonsense…..

    Kentucky’s sick road fund can’t provide essential highway services. And people in Trimble County are among those in the “growth” areas of the state who are paying a high price for inadequate roads. That was the message Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency’s board got today from Jack Fish, President of Kentuckians for Better Transportation, at a Bedford meeting.

    My husband is much less stubborn than I; or perhaps more intelligent. He knows when it’s time to make a change in strategy when the first course fails. He has not once been flown like a kite.
