Subject: SKEETERVILLE PROBE
CURRENT WEATHER
It's 61 degrees under a partly cloudy sky. a breeze from the southeast at 6
MPH is just enough to keep the windmill pumping water for Hardies "pure" Angus
Beef.
Our Skeeter Meter registered 6 sorties early last evening.

WILDLIFE RESEARCH:
Has anyone else noticed how Skeeters have learned to attack us just outside
the "swat zone"? Just last night, while visiting Brad and Denise, I noticed the
little critters seemed to zero in on the area just below the knees.
I'm not sure, yet, if there are different varieties of Skeeters for different
variations of people. It is starting to appear that way. For instance, I think
the little bitty buggers. The ones that tend to land and refuel on bald heads,
are small so they don't get tangled up in the odd follicle that clutters their
landing strip. Then there are those that emit super sonic sound waves as they
buzz around the ears. I'm guessing that variety is nothing more than a
diversion so the really big ones can put their drill smack in the middle of our
posterior.
The ones that really "bug" me, however, are those that start drilling below
the "swat zone". They obviously know how far a chubby Norwegian can bend and
plan their attack just beyond that point. And so it goes.
==================================
Uncle Gerald and Aunt Lois Sevigny stopped by Monday afternoon. They have
been here for about a month and were planning on heading back to Washington
Tuesday. As usual Lois looked great, Gerald looked pretty good too, although
even the latest camouflage issued by the United States Army couldn't hide him
in a crowd. I got a chance to see the painting his nephew, my cousin, Lynus
Sevigny painted on the end-gate of their pickup. The painting was that of an
eagle in flight over the American flag. It is a fabulous painting. That, along
with the pin stripping and small American flag Lynus painted along the sides of
the pickup will make their truck a very, very special vehicle.
It also makes me very proud to say, I share the same gene pool with such an
artist. We have always dreamed of having an "original" painting on the back of
our motorhome. Time, circumstances, and finances, always seemed to get in the
way. On the other hand, those same reasons have allowed us to enjoy such things
of others, even more.
If you happen to see a really fancy paint job on a motorcycle, or any type of
vehicle. Look at it closely, you may just find a small "Lynus" signature in one
corner. If so, that would be my cousin, Lynus Sevigny, Woodrow and Adeline's
son. ==================================
HARVEST REPORT:
Grain harvest yield reports are anywhere from 45 bushels to 90 plus bushels.
As a general rule, the first guy up in the morning has the lowest yields, with
the last guy in the bar at night having the highest.
Rumor has it the grain buyers haven't decided yet whether they will discount
for protein, or, if there should be a premium for it. Obviously the criteria,
as always, will be determined by which way growers will get the least amount
for their crop. Rumor also has it, the generic combines are holding their own
with the long green line. For you sports car nuts.....Combines have climate
control, power steering and seats, remote control mirrors and surround sound.
Anyone looking for work? ==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH ==================================
