Terri and I were in Chadron, NE for our churches annual conference meeting last weekend. While driving across campus, I stopped at a 4-way stop sign, and started to turn left. We had to slam on the brakes, because of 4 deer running down the sidewalk. They stayed in the crosswalk, so we had to yield the right of way, or they would have run into the side of the car. There was one really nice mule deer buck (big rack, in full velvet).
We also had a good laugh with our keynote speaker, a black female minister from Columbus, Ohio. She serves an urban church in a poor neighborhood. We were telling stories about growing up in the midwest, and one lady told about the time they came home from church, and a rattlesnake was coiled up against their door on the back porch. This minister asked, what in the world did you do? The other person replied, "Go get a hoe to chop it's head off". The minister replied, "A Ho! Why have a Ho do it?
We had more nasty weather last night, I suppose most of you saw the news about the tornado in the boy scout camp just across the river in Iowa.
So far, no major flooding up at the farm, but it is still wet.
Later, the old farmer
