Heat Wave

This weekend has been un-real for nice weather. A dunking (somewhat forcedely) in a local river completed the albeit short transition to summertime for me. It seems we still have a little while till we can really call it summer around here. Went to some good music yesterday with my folks to a show that a friend of mine helped to put on, a great southern appalichian band Heres to the Long Haul. There were uppbeat, and fun to move to, I finally learned how to clog about a year ago and was dissapointed at having a temporarty ankle injury that prevented me in partaking in my foot stomping good time. Friendly and talented fellows that are certainly worth the time to listen to. Once you do you'll be addicted. I promise.

     There is a dreaded day each year when the farmers that live on either side of our property spread chicken shit out on their fields to get them ready for planting corn, and of course if you've ever come into even remote contact with chicken poop you know of the foulness that it emits when spread in large quanitities in hot sun...So it's 75/80 degress out at 9:45 at night and the windows are shut to prevent our selves and all of our belongings to smell horridly of chicken droppings...Oh the suffering. At least the cows who eat the corn will be well fed.
