Whoo!
Whee! That was some storm that blew
through here this past weekend. Knocked
down power lines, tore up trees, had all of Miller thinking that a tornado was
headed straight for our little neck of these here piney woods. This intrepid blogger can’t remember ever
seeing so much lightning. There was a
time that lightning flashed so fast and so bright that it felt like aliens
might be landing in our backyards. This
morning, even though the Double D was buzzing with all the damage wrought,
there have been no alien sightings reported.
So guess that’s a positive from a negative. However, Millerites are having to put up with
the inconvenience of not having electricity.
Old Harold over at Meade’s Feed and Seed is running a special on
generators. Might be the time to check
out how much it would set a body back to get one. No deaths and no one injured, Millerites have
much to be thankful for. Yes sir, they
sure do. If you don’t believe this
blogger, you have only to check out the number of cars in the twelve churches
in Miller yesterday. Parking lots were
full to the brim.
Having
said that, it is an ill wind that blows no good. The storm took Millerite’s minds off the Lady
Huskies painful loss. They came in third
in state, not that being third is bad, just disappointing for Coach Olsen and
the girls. Always next year. That’s our battle cry now!!!
With
that in mind, there have been some sightings, not of the alien variety, that
have the town buzzing, nonetheless. AA
and BB aka snowbird and farm boy, have been keeping company quite a bit
lately. The FFs were spotted sitting
together at church several Sundays in a row, and by all accounts the two were
even seen at The Filling Station eating some of the FBQ’s (former beauty
queen’s) famous blueberry waffles last Saturday. Even more interesting, they were sharing a
paradise pie at Baker Beau’s Wedding Emporium in Tyler. Yep.
I said Wedding Emporium. Do you
think they were there just because the pie is so yummy? This intrepid blogger thinks not. Could it be
that Miller has become their paradise?
Interesting thought, but wasn’t there a serpent in paradise? Or was that the Garden of Eden? No matter, despite the numerous sightings,
there is no talk of marriage. Have
faith, my fine fellow Millerites, he will woo her and win her back. Wedding bells will ring, just be sure you
have the right date, when they do. You
know that it will be posted here in a New York second as soon as it gets
penciled in.

| Double D Rangers are #1 |
Meanwhile,
come out to the little league ball fields and watch our future HOFs (hall of famers)
play some ball. It means a lot to those
little athletes to have people in the stands cheering them on. The clean-up batter for the Double D Rangers
hit three out of the park homeruns last Friday night. Fourth time he came to bat, the other team
refused to pitch to him. It was
beautiful, and you should have been there.
