While sitting in a barbershop waiting for a haircut the fancy, electronic sign in front of the church across the street caught my attention. It's very effective at communicating a variety of offerings...to a stationary person in the barber shop. The sign rotates 17 messages in a continuous loop. Each message is displayed for 9 seconds before a subsequent message appears. Automobiles passing by have approximately 3-4 seconds to read the sign before they pass. This means that most motorists will see 1, or possibly 2, of the 17 messages. Is this a cost effective use of a very expensive sign? Just asking........
My source in the vicinity of The Little House reports .6" of rain over the weekend. That's very valuable following the larger rains some days ago. Corn now is beginning to tassel which is a critical stage in its development. This moisture will help significantly.
Joanne gave me a tee shirt with a picture of a tractor and the words "STILL PLAYS WITH TRACTORS." In the OFH I entered an elevator wearing this shirt. A woman looked at and remarked "I heard there was a farmer in the building." 😀 No, I didn't explain that I was a hobby farmer.
