Doniphan-----AP(Almosta Press)......Yesterday the citizens of Doniphan awoke to a freak of nature, a cold front in August. The Arctic blast rolled down from the north and caused the local temperatures to plummet all the way down to eighty degrees. On the interstate there were reports of massive pile-ups as drivers, disoriented by the lack of blazing sunlight in their eyes, lost control and skidded off the highway or into other cars.
Local resident, Mrs. Irma Snotwhistle who lives on the banks of the Current River told this reporter that the cold front works a hardship on her. She stated that for the last two months all the fish her husband has caught out of the river has already been boiled, thus saving her the job of cooking them. Now she has to go to the extra work of actually cooking his supper.
One local horse and donkey rancher who asked to remain anonymous, said it was all the fault of those idiots in Washington. When asked to explain he said: "Well it's plain to see that two of them fellas up there in the Capital must have got together and agreed on SOMETHING. That's the only way to explain Hell freezing over, and by god that's what's happening here."

Hell has froze, it seems.
Life is all about comparisons. Very funny.

Enough said.
It is raining here this morning, at long last, and so the temp dropped. I am going out to play in it in a few minutes. Splishy splashy!
Didn't realize that Irma had moved out your way.

I have to say that on the one time I finally broke down and went outside to do something, I did find it a might cooler. Almost made me wish I had the energy to spend some more time outside. But I will save all my complaints for anther day.
Enjoy the cooler weather.
