Kentucky House Boats
Alligators Do Not Make Good Pets
When I was about eight years old, a neighbor of ours, about sixteen years of age had a pet alligator. We lived in Providence, Kentucky a small coal mining town in the western side of the state. This neighbor was known for doing and owning exotic things. I remember being impressed by that small alligator chasing our hands as we moved them quickly along the edge of the old bathtub where he was kept. I do not think that he kept him very long as he was growing very fast and was getting harder to handle.

Last Days in the Army, Fort Lewis Washington 1961
My two year tour in Germany was over and I was grateful for the commercial flight back to the United States. With thirty days leave to spend with my family, now living in Florida, I was ready to relax. Dad was commercial fishing now and hunting Alligators. Mom was happy with her beach house on the lake and her painting. And my little sister was in highschool. Dad took me out running the trout lines in the day time and at night we would load up the boat and go alligator hunting.
In 1961 it was still legal to hunt alligators and we would use a boat or wade through the swamp shining a light

Select The Perfect Type Of Grass For Your Lawn
The Roots Of Kentucky Blue Grass
The type of grass known as Kentucky Bluegrass is not native to North America but originates from Europe, the mountains of North Africa and Northern Asia. It was brought in as seed mixtures by early emigrants and took particularly well to the cool, humid areas of the US. It can now be found in most regions of the country.
It is one of the most familiar grasses in the US: the blades tips are boat shape and grow from half a foot to about two feet high. Its growth rate evolves throughout the year, depending on the amount of daylight it receives.

Lake Cumberland Kentucky
Most native south-central Kentuckians are familiar with the benefits the Indiana and Ohio Navy bring to the small towns surrounding, Lake Cumberland. Typically as soon as the mercury hits the mid-eighties, they start rolling into town with their classy SUVs and fantastic speed-boats. If you ask some of the old-timers if the area has always been such a tourist hot spot, they will tell you no for sure. They might even tell of a relative who aided in the sequence of events that lead to the impressive lake.
