It was a road trip day several hours to the north for a bridal shower. As I had spent my quarter getting to the event I could not pass up making as many stops as possible on the way home for brief visits here and there.
As I drove It was heartbreaking to see the hundreds of acres of cropland under water after a week of torrential rains. I now know why farmers do not feel the need to visit casinos. Each day from the the time the seed goes into the soil to the day it is harvested the gamble for a successful year is in the hands of God and Mother Nature.
