Spent my day trying to salvage a neighbors spring planted alfalfa by redrilling drowned out spots in it, and hauling my 2nd cutting of alfalfa off the field. This should have been the third cutting, but the same freeze that ruined our wheat took our first cutting of alfalfa as well. We had a "dry drizzle" today, the remnants of a tropical storm have moved up here, the best rain is in Oklahoma, we are praying it will get to Kansas. It did cool us down to about 85F, that alone was enough to put smiles on most faces.
Since my UK trip is fresh on my mind, I tend to compare things I see here now to what I saw over there. I have to smile a bit that the impression the Brits have of the USA is that we are all rich, which would lead I would think to better infrastructure. I ruined 2 tires today hauling hay on our unpaved gravel roads, that made me think of all the narrow, but very good blacktop roads in the UK. I wonder what it would cost our government to pave all of ours?
