Yes....if you are wondering where it rained the other day and where it didn't rain, I can tell you this.....it was more or less just following our sprayers around all day....we get ready to spray-it clouds up and starts to rain...we quit-it quits....so , anyway , this was very inconvenient for us yesterday, but in August we again will be offering our $5 per acre rain offer and we will back it up by driving our sprayers around and pretending to spray for whoever needs rain.....

****Fact or Crap......07/19/10       Fish scales have been a key ingredient in lipstick........... Fact or Crap????  Yes, it's fact, and I can't believe how much trouble this got me into.......here's the story....I got an email from Becky Geuns that said, "Fact....they call it pearlessence. It's what gives your lips the sparkle" .....I replied to her..."I will never look at pearl lips the same". I hit the send button and as I watched it go I realized that it was not going to Becky but it WAS going to our female representative, Cassandra, from Ameren, who had written me about the energy rates on our dryers. She wanted to know which rate we wanted and I replied...."I will never look at pearl lips the same".......oh my......
