With all the stupidity in the world, it takes serious effort to be moron of the month. With over a week to go, here are August’s top contenders. Liz Cheney’s congressional reelection campaign was doomed for a variety of reasons. Daddy did a campaign commercial saying Donald Trump was the biggest threat to democracy. ThisContinue reading “Situational Unawareness”

Water shortage?!? update
With the entire county in severe drought status according to droughtmonitor.unl.edu, it was surprising that no water conservation measures were taken by any of our towns. This week Caney is asking residents to use less water until we get some serious rain. Caney’s water supply is the least stable in the county so I amContinue reading “Water shortage?!? update”
Four-letter, four-legged locusts…
AKA deer left enough of my okra so I can finally pick some this weekend. As I have posted earlier, they turn their noses up at everything else in the garden to attack the okra. With some heat tolerant spinach and grape tomatoes, I have the beginning of a decent salad. With the recent coolingContinue reading “Four-letter, four-legged locusts…”
Planting Time, fall edition
I took advantage of the long term wetter, cooler trend and planted some beans this morning. It is a little warm for greens, but in two or three weeks that should change.
Cool breezes
I did some long overdue yard work today. The weather was better than it has been the last three months, with the high only reaching 80 degrees with a slight refreshing breeze. Tomorrow will be warmer, but the days off 100 degree temperatures are over. It is too warm to plant the winter garden, butContinue reading “Cool breezes”
Big storm, little rain.
A storm just came through this evening. It didn’t provide any rain, but it brought temperatures below 70 degrees. The long range forecast shows a lot of highs in the 80s. Another storm is coming overnight which could bring more rain.
Dodging jury duty
I went to work last night and forgot I had jury duty today. If I had remembered, I could have called the jury hotline to find out if I had to appear. I had just enough time to get off work, go home, find my summons, and look online to see if I had toContinue reading “Dodging jury duty”
AFL down to last round
With one week to go, the finalists are all but decided, but the seedings are not. Geelong is the number one seed and will get a double chance with both games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Cats will need that second chance because of the week off before the finals and their legendary inabilityContinue reading “AFL down to last round”
Back to School
Some area schools started this week, the rest start Monday. Gatorade and juice sales are down this week at Wally World and it is not because the temperature has finally below 100 degrees either. I am ordering a quarter beef in November, so I bought a 7 cubic foot freezer to go along with theContinue reading “Back to School”
Car up
I tried to call for a tow this morning, but my cell phone died. I rode the bike home to charge the phone. I got a ride back to town and called for a tow. The driver figured out what was wrong and didn’t charge. A lot of problems solved.
