Not afraid to take the path of maximum resistance. Too loud. Habitually overdressed.

Last year some people were wary of the idea of showing up at a bar and doing a sudden sing-along. Those doubters were WRONG. The entire bar joined in and people were crying.

What this vegetarian married into. It's a family farm, but really an industrial operation run by a family of 5th generation farmers.

The view from the cab of a combine harvester on the edge of a field. A metal fence is just to the left.

The ride along did not increase Elliot's interest in a career as a farmer. Now we are waiting. For a semi, I think. For all the walkie talkies and satellites, I would think this would be more efficient.

A combine harvester is a bit like a serger sewing machine. It cuts the corn stalks, then smushes the dry corn off the cob, and then puts the corn in a hopper.

Men fixing things. There is a lot of cursing.
Men laying under a combine harvester. Something is wrong. They are arguing.

Thoma Trucking. These trucks take the corn to the siloes. There are a lot of them. This is why Bill has had a CDL since he was 18. It is super hot when he talks farming.
The cab of a semi. It is red and says in silver letters "Thoma Trucking."

As a change of subject, today I will love skeet the Iowa corn harvest. Currently we are looking for my 84 yo FIL who is out in a combined harvester.

Not to be a pedant, but that is a parlay.

A duvet is a person who stubbornly refuses to change their course of action or opinion.

Not to be a pedant, but that’s a Matinee.

A duvet is when one wagers the winnings plus the initial stake of one bet on a subsequent wager, or engages in a series of such increased wagers.

Hate to contradict you my love, but that's a pince nez

I had mine Tuesday and was just tired yesterday. No fever or other symptoms. I just took a hard nap and went to bed early.
