Boy am I confused, first your "season is over" , then the above listed
awards. And then tonight on the local news I see you with your estimated
860+- lb. pumpkin.
All due respect but I can only hope that next year my "season is over" in
this fashion.
Again, all due respect, but if you can tell the local news how you are doing
why did you find it necessary to lead this group into the belief your
"season is over".
Makes me wonder, makes me wonder, makes me wonder.
