I took a swim tonight.\u00a0 And at the end of my swim, I found a dead bunny on one of the ledges on our pool.\u00a0 Well&#8230; after writing the expanded and exaggerated account, it hit me that it might not be appropriate to publish it here.\u00a0 Given the recent events at our county fair.\u00a0 So&#8230; now I have to switch gears and write of something else.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, the thunder is a rumbling.\u00a0 It sounds like more rain might we on the way.\u00a0 Earlier in the day&#8230; we got those drops.\u00a0 We sure needed the rain.<\/p>\n<p>In this part of the world&#8230; the Ohio Valley&#8230; specifically good old Preble County, Ohio&#8230;. those news-guys have been promising us some rain for weeks now.\u00a0 But it never comes.<\/p>\n<p>The farmers around here really needed it.\u00a0 For contraptions like the one in this photo.\u00a0 I am not sure exactly what it does.\u00a0 It is probably some kind of grain storage deal&#8230; or maybe a grain elevator&#8230; or something.\u00a0 But I never quite understand why grain needs to take the elevator.\u00a0 I personally, always prefer the stairs.\u00a0 Even the escalator.\u00a0 But you never hear of grain taking the\u00a0 stairs.<\/p>\n<p>They say grain is healthy.\u00a0 I would think something that healthy would WANT to take the stairs.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe they can hardly wheat to get to the top.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe it takes the elevator, because all that wheat is just trying to give someone the shaft.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder a lot of things&#8230;.. like if their is that loopy music playing on grain elevators.\u00a0 And if so&#8230; I wonder if it gives the farmers my-grain headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Any way&#8230; all of this because of the rain.\u00a0 We sure needed that rain.\u00a0 But I guess I got off track&#8230; and from that point on&#8230; things surely went a-rye.\u00a0 As it is&#8230; I could barley finish all of this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cBelieve deep down in your heart that you\u2019re destined to do great things.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>~ Joe Paterno<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cThings turn out the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>~ John Wooden<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight, I wrote a long story about my evening.\u00a0 It was kind of a funny deal&#8230;
