Re: hot summer night


I could never farm.  Last year it was too much water and they couldn't plant
or it rotted or something.  Then it's drought.  How can you base your
livelihood on that?   I got my water bill today. $100.43 - a record for me.
And now it's too wet to do much out there til we get some more sun to dry it
out.  Ma Nature - she's fickle.
