How do you get corn to stay on this thing?

d) Thinking of beating himself to death to get away from all these farmers.
Corn is a sore subject hereabouts. It’s been too wet to plant. It rained 27 out of 30 days. Now, it’s too late to plant. Here, after May 20, you figure two less bushels per acre for every day you don’t plant. I did get in 14 acres of corn, only because my farm is on a sandy ridge, but most farmers will be all wheat and soybeans this year.

Blog Guy, where did that expression “Is the pope Catholic?” come from?
It’s interesting you should ask that. Judging from a survey released this week, it’s reasonable to wonder how many Americans know the answer.
Let’s just say if there’s a quiz to get into Heaven, it turns out you should copy your answers from a smart atheist.
Blog Guy, the main thing I know about getting to Heaven is it helps to recommend your blog to a lot of folks. So what about this survey?
Well, 29 percent of the people didn’t even know where Jesus was born.
No! Despite the Christmas carol, “O Little Town of Birmingham?”
