' ASK YOUR OWN LAWYER ' Notice; This column is not to be considered as any legal advice, always ask your own lawyer when you need legal advice.

The stories depicted in this column are commonsensical in approach and are intended for purely entertainment purposes.

Question: I went to an estate sale of an avid hunter about 2 months ago

and bid on several items. The auctioneer announced that all sales were

final and that any announcement made during the auction took precedence

over any advertised items. There were over 50 long guns advertised,

mostly shotguns. About 35 were in good clean ready to use condition,

some collectible. I bought a 1970 - 12 gauge Auto Light Browning

Belgium made shotgun with a 26” ribbed barrel. It looked perfect and I

only paid $1000. All was well until I picked up the gun after the sale.

Someone had dropped the shotgun which put a long (6 inch) gouge on the

wooden stock. It was fine when I looked at it during the bidding, but all

bidders had to wait until the sale was over to collect their guns. What can I

do? I have tried to return the purchase to the auctioneer and was told all

sales were final period. This has ruined the gun’s value of $1900.

Answer: I doubt that you will be able to get your money back since it

was an estate sale. I would contact a reputable gun shop and find out how

much it would cost to repair the gouge damage. When you get the price go

see the auctioneer and ask him to use his insurance to have the gun fixed.

If he refuses, I would then talk to an attorney and explain the situation. He

might consider writing the auctioneer to formally ask for his help. If that

doesn’t work you can either go to court by filing an action or write it off

to experience and fix it yourself. I doubt the auctioneer can use the bad

publicity he will get from the incident if he doesn’t help. Good Luck

second segment opens Nov. 26 and closes Dec. 6, while the third segment of dove season

opens Dec. 19, 2020 and closes Jan. 10, 2021.

In addition to a valid Kentucky hunting license, dove hunters must possess a Kentucky

Migratory Game Bird/Waterfowl Hunting Permit. Shotguns must be plugged to only hold

three shells total, one in the chamber and two in the magazine. The daily dove bag limit is

15 birds.

If not completed already, dove hunters must go

online at the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website and

click the “My Profile” tab to fill out the Harvest

Information Program (HIP) survey before hunting.

It is illegal to hunt doves or waterfowl over a

"baited" field. Baited fields are areas where grain, salt

or other attractants have been placed other than those

that occur by legitimate agricultural practices. Mature

wildlife food plots grown to attract doves are legal

hunting areas, as long as no additional attractants have been placed on these areas.

Shooting Hours on private land for dove is 11 a.m. until one-half hour before sunset.

On public land for doves is 11 a.m. to sunset. The second & third segments of dove

season is one-half before sunrise to sunset.

If you do not have a private land area to shoot, a public area is available at Griffith

Woods WMA on Russell Cave Road in Harrison County.

This Week: The Edison House - Louisville, KY (Revisited)

Thomas Alva Edison, inventor, played a major role in altering the way

people live today. Born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio, he received

little formal education & left school at the age of 13 to begin working on

the railroad between Detroit & Port Huron, Michigan, where his family

then lived. In 1866, at age 19, he was a skilled telegrapher & went to work

for Western Union whose office was located on Main & 2nd Streets.

Edison found lodging at this house, an

1850 shotgun duplex on E. Washington

Street in what is now Butchertown, a

neighborhood well known as the center of

meat production for many years. The brick

duplex was convenient for Edison since it

was located eight blocks from his work.

While working the night shift in 1867,

Thomas was working with a battery when he

spilled sulfuric acid onto the floor & his boss' desk on the floor below. He was promptly

fired & left Louisville soon after.

In 1980, the house was opened as an informal museum & was purchased by the

Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. in 1990. HHF restored it as a museum to highlight,

spotlight & preserve Thomas Edison's achievements in science & technology. Presently,

the small simple cottage remains on of the few shotgun duplexes in the area.

Approximately 4500 visitors pass through the informal Edison museum on an annual

basis. The tour is comprised of 3 small rooms; the first room has various Edison inventions

& a gift shop, the second room is his bedroom which has been restored to period

conditions, & the third room contains several phonographs & inventions, some of which

actually belonged to him. A kinetoscope, cylinder & disc phonographs, & numerous

versions of the light bulb are some of the more interesting artifacts on display, as well as

Edison Business Phonographs. An Edison Kinetoscope, the first home motion picture

projector, is also on display in the museum.

The museum hosts a variety of programs & special events throughout the year. Each

year, a celebration is held to commemorate Thomas Edison’s birthday, during which a

piece of the special light bulb cake is served. The signature program of the house is the

Invention Convention, focusing on the process of inventing a new device or a new way to

perform a task. By the time he died on October 18, 1931, Thomas Edison had amassed a record 1,093

patents: 389 for electric light & power, 195 for the phonograph, 150 for the telegraph, 141

for storage batteries & 34 for the telephone.

The Reason We Celebrate Labor Day

We celebrate Labor Day in order to pay tribute to the contributions and

achievements of American workers and it is traditionally observed on the first Monday

in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became

a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for

many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, street parades and athletic events. This

year Labor Day will occur on Monday, September 7, 2020.

Labor Day was created during one of American labor history’s most dismal

chapters. In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the

United States, the average American worked 12+ hours a day and seven -day

weeks in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states,

children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the

country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages.

As a result of industrial greed and harshness, people of all ages,

particularly the very poor and recent immigrants to the United States, often

faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh

air, sanitary facilities and resting breaks.

As manufacturing increasingly supplanted agriculture as the wellspring of

American employment, labor unions, which had first appeared in the late 18th

century, grew more prominent and vocal. They began organizing strikes and

rallies to protest poor working conditions and compelled employers to

renegotiate working hours and offer a livable hourly wage.

Many of these events turned violent during this period, including the infamous

Haymarket Riot of 1886, in which several Chicago policemen and workers were killed.

Others gave rise to longstanding traditions: On September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took

unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City, holding the

first Labor Day parade in U.S. history.

The idea of a “workingmen’s holiday,” celebrated on the first Monday in

September, caught on in other industrial centers across the country, and many

states passed legislation recognizing it. Congress would not legalize the

holiday until 12 years later, when a watershed moment in American labor

history brought workers’ rights squarely into the public’s view. On May 11,

1894, employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago went on

strike to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. On June

26, the American Railroad Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, called for a

boycott of all Pullman railway cars, crippling railroad traffic nationwide.

To break the Pullman strike, the federal government dispatched troops to

Chicago, unleashing a wave of riots that resulted in the deaths of more than

a dozen workers. In the wake of this massive unrest and in an attempt to repair ties

with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in

the District of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, President Grover

Cleveland signed it into law.

Do you speak Appaloosan?

You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front of you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!
