A few weeks ago and friend posed the question: “What are we going to do about our town?”
“Everything is closing,” said one of the ladies having lunch at Biancke’s.
I agreed and we commiserated. Up to that point, I suppose I was in denial. It didn’t seem like a “we” problem.
We talked about the bypass around Cynthiana and weighed its pros and cons, trying to determine if it will help or hinder.

If memory serves me correct, I believe I have stood on a soapbox before with words of judgment against and for technology.
If I haven’t, please allow me to do so now.
Technology. Wow. Cutting edge, interesting and all the more scary if you think about it.
By no means am I an old person, but to think of how far along technology has come since I was five to now being 25, it simply blows my mind.

“I don’t think so, but maybe next time.”
“I really don’t think I will be able to make it.”
The list goes on and on of phrases that we have all used when trying to get out of doing something or going somewhere.
When we are young we tend to defer to more drastic measures such as dragging our feet, kicking, screaming and in some situations... biting.
Nonetheless, children and adults both have their ways of trying to drop the hint of non-compliance.

With winter finally here, and with that I mean snow, vehicle accidents will surely be on the rise.
According to local law enforcement, as of Tuesday, over 10 reported wrecks have occurred in Cynthiana and Harrison County this month.
Aside from contributing factors related to the beginning of the year such as rushing to company New Year’s Eve parties, one factor seems to have spiked the sudden number of wrecks... snow.
