I've complained about the lack of rain long enough, that the heavens finally opened up this weekend and poured water on to the burnt stuff coming out of the ground.

I've also completely given up hope of ever seeing any of this Blue Grass that everyone's always talking about... Heck, I can't even seem to find any Green Grass anywhere now-a-days.

I'm a bit disturbed by Summer time fashions in Hardin County. Here are a few words of advise:

Spaghetti Strap shirts are not for everyone. I know the tag says "built in bra" but that's only if you're an A cup or under the age of 11. If you have to get your bra specially ordered at the JC Penney's counter, please don't wear these shirts in public. It's actually kinda obscene.

Short shorts are meant for the likes of Jessica Simpson (or anyone named "Daisy" and who has cousins named Luke and Duke.) If it looks like your 2 year old drew on your pasty white legs with a blue magic marker, please consider knee length shorts or a nice skirt.

Shoes are not optional. Please always put on some form of footwear upon leaving your place of residence. The ground gets really hot in the Summer.

A diaper is not an appropriate outfit for a toddler. Please dress your children and don't forget the sunscreen! And, please see my note above regarding shoes.

Unless you're near a water source, wearing a bikini top in public is no different than running around with only a bra on.

So that's it for now. Ya'll take care!
