Finally or sadly, we hit 100 degrees yesterday for the first time. The rains have stopped and it's just a slow march towards fall. We sent five steers to the auction this morning. It is always sad to see them go... Everyone had a name and a known personality. I have to leave "it" at that!!
The Purple Martins started leaving a couple days ago and noticed this morning, they were all gone. Interestingly, we had our biggest group this year. It certainly isn't because we made any improvements in the living quarters. I guess they just found we provided acceptable accommodations. I'll miss their calming warbles and chirps!
Ben has chosen Fancy as his show heifer. She's as bad as ever but still is a winner in terms of looks. She'll stay here at the farm for another couple weeks then she's off on her adventure in "show business!"
I must make some comments on our recent service from Direct TV and Best Buy. We required their service to set up the new TVs. Both called us a couple days out from their scheduled setups. Both said we had cancelled that arranged scheduled service and "did we want to reschedule?" Well, of course we had NOT cancelled the scheduled service calls! As luck would have it, the persons we were talking to were not native speakers. After some heated back and forth, we were put back on the schedule with Best Buy, but Direct TV is another story. All I can say is this is typical **** **** with these companies!!! They know they have us. "the public," over a barrel and exploit it to the max!!!! So our lightening strike nightmare continues....
