Some of them weather forecaster folks done changed the name of some possible rain. Instead of callin’ ‘em “scattered showers”, now they gonna call ‘em “pop-up” showers. Anything fer a little change of pace; I reckon. I just hope some of ‘em “pop-up” ‘round here.

We come real close to a “NASCAR” incident here while back over to Gatesville. Whew! Bet had a Wally World attack and we in left hand lane gittin’ ready to turn left. Got rat up beside this little brown car and she decided she needed to be in my lane. I gawrantee she bound to took at least one coat of dust off our car ’fore she noticed us and swerved back to the right. She had a young boy in the front seat with her and she was talkin’ on a dad-burn cell phone. Couldn’t tell if the boy was properly strapped in or not.

I dropped Bet off at one end and I went to the other end to find a parkin’ place. Then, I went in to Wally-World and thought I recognized this gal. Had a little boy in the cart. I asked her, “Maam, was you in a little brown car?” And she answered that she was and was I the guy in the white car. I commenced to tell her she scared the heck (sic) outta me and she said that it scared her too. I commenced to tell her she needed to stick that danged phone where the sun don’t shine if she was on the road. Pull over and stop. Then commenced to tell her that I didn’t much care if she got hurt in a wreck; but, I’d shore hate fer her to hurt her little boy. Or, Me and Bet. I think she got the message. (language sanitized, some)

Seen on the news where a guy in a pick-up ran a stop sign and t-boned a van full of senior citizens. Killed one of ’em. He wasn’t talkin’ on a cell phone. He admitted he was lookin’ at his GPS unit tryin’ to figger out where he was, or where he was goin’. Van laid over on its side and the rest of the passengers only had minor injuries. But, like I done said; It killed one of ’em.

Mebbe one of these days one of them technicians invent a cell phone that’ll scream in yore ear if any of the wheels on yore rig is turnin’. Reckon?

I cain’t hardly believe that some folks is upset ’cause the President of our Nation tryin’ to talk to our young folks telling ’em to stay in school; study hard; and do what-ever to git a good education. It might have disrupted some classes fer a few minutes; but, what the heck. He ain’t tryin’ to git political with it.

Sattidy, the 5th, at the NASCAR race in Atlanta, three cute l’il gals called “Shedaisy” tried to sing the National Anthem. Notice, I said “tried.” They did not do good and I, fer some reason, git aggravated when they don’t.

We have been blessed with some fantastic weather lately. Some scattered showers what helped lots of folks. Drivin’ through this neck of the woods sorta lak drivin’ through a picture post card. The country looks to be in great shape. We’ve been spared all the bad stuff lak bad winds and hail. Don’t need none of that. Folks makin’ mucho hay and fat cattle grazing in stuff up to their knees; and higher. Looks lak they doin’ real good. Hope our ranchers make plenty money.
