Hot and dry. Smokey the Bear has all of Cherokee County on high alert, which means no burning. That bears repeating. Pun intended. No. Burning. Unless, of course, you want to take a chance of burning half the county and getting yourself a whopping big fine when the fire chief pays you an official ignorance-is-no-excuse visit. Okay. Okay. We all know that the poem says April showers bring May flowers, but, folks, so far April has not brought any showers to Cherokee County. Lakes are suffering. Wildlife is suffering. Tempers are suffering. Yep, the heat makes us all a little crazy. Remember that before you give in to a little, well, let’s call it, HEAT RAGE. Speaking of getting a little hot under the collar — today is the last day to file your income taxes. No point in griping about it. Griping just makes the people listening to you want to tell you to stick a sock in your pie hole. Go pay Caesar what is Caesar's, Millerites, and be done with it. CONSIDER THIS YOUR OFFICIAL TAX DAY PSA. You're welcome.
Speaking of things heating up, this intrepid blogger has been keeping an eye on our little SB. Word around town is that a certain FB picked her up from the airport. Interesting. Oh, to have been a fly on the headliner of his truck. Now that she is back in the nest, our FB is suspiciously MIA. He’s still in Miller, just keeping out of sight. Could it be that having SB-his FF (this blogger's new favorite initialism: Former FiancĂ©e)-right on his doorstep has him lying low? Hmmm. Wonder how that’s working for him? Friday is the big Welcome Back shindig. Will he make an appearance? Don’t you fret; nothing gets by this blogger. Whatever happens, you can read about it here.
Meanwhile, the old-timers say the fish are biting. It might be time to wet a hook. Hey, if you don’t catch any fish, you can at least cool off by taking a quick dip. Bet the water in the lake is plenty cool enough to take the edge off this little heatwave. All this talk of fishing makes this intrepid blogger think it’s a good time for a bit of family time at the lake. This old world goes better with a little grace and a little patience — and if a fishing pole helps you find both, who's to argue? Catch you on the flip-flop. Unless the fish start hitting on my bait--then it might be a month of Sundays before you hear from me again. ‘Nuff Said.
