WHOOPS--- I THINK WE HAVE PROVEN THAT THE PEOPLE WHO PICK CORN AND DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH KNOW A HECK OF ALOT MORE ABOUT CORN PICKING THAN WE DO... I NOW THINK--- THAT THE REASON SO MUCH CORN GETS LEFT IN THE FIELD IS THAT THE GOOD OLE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE-- OR HOUSEHUSBAND WILL CAREFULLY STAND AT THE FARM STAND AND STRIP BACK THE TOPS OF TEH CORN AND IF THERE IS MORE THAN 1/2 INCH OF UNDEVELOPED CORN- THEY TOSS IT BACK IN THE BIN... EVEN THO 87% OF TEH EAR OF CORN IS PERFECT.... IT IS TEH AMERICAN WAY... PERFECT CORN..
SOOOOO.... WHEN THIS CREW GOES THRU THE FIELD, THEY PICK ONLY THE PERFECT EARS, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IF THEY AHAVE ANY WIHT UNDEVELOPED KERNELS THEY WILL JUST BE LEFT AT THE FARM STAND- SO THEY MAY AS WELL LEAVE THEM IN THE FIELD... INSTEAD OF QUICKLY DECIDING WE HAD JUST A BUNCH OF POOR PICKERS, WE NOW THINK THEY ARE PERFECT PICKERS WHICH LUCKILY LEAVE ALOT OF CORN FOR ANYONE WHO GETS THERE BEFORE THE TRACTOR PPLOWS IT UNDER...THIS ALSO MEANS MR MARINI UNINTENTIONALLY DONATED $200 WORTH OF PERFECT CORN TO US...
WE GAVE A LOT OF IT WAY TO ANYONE HERE YESTERDAY-- BUT STILL HAVE A BUNCH... SO I MAY TAKE IT TO "YOUR BROTHRS TABLE" IN BEVERLY TODAY.

THE DONKEY RACE PROGRESSES..... JANINE IS MANAGING SO FAR WITH AN OVERWHELMING PROJECT... BUT SHE SEEMED TO HAVE ANSWERS FOR ANY IDEAS I HAD.. SO MAYBE..... MY ADVICE TO HER IS TO MAKE NO PLANS FOR HERSELF FOR THE LAST HOUR BEFOR "CALL TO THE POST" IF SHE HAS 100% CREATIVE GENUIS' MANNING THE ROPES, IT WLL BE NO PROBLME-- LIKE SHE HAS SOMEONE WITH A BUGLE-- WHO CAN'T PLAY IT- TO STND OUT FRONT WHILE SOMEONE RUNS THE RECORDING-- THE TIMING THAT WILL REQUIRE IS MIND BOGGLING TO ME.... I WOULD RATHER-- SINCE THE WHOLE THING IS A FARCE ON KENTUCKY DERBY, HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT AND BLOW ONE LONG NOTE-- ALOT LESS TIMING INVOLVED... THERE ARE ALOT OF DONKEYS INVOLVED- AND GATHERING THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND HOLDING THEM....IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY... PRAY FOR AT LEAST POSSIBLE...

STEVE IS WALKING... NOT GRACEFULLY , BUT ON HIS FEET, NOW SEWN TOGETHER... HIS HEAD IS STILL WORKING FINE... SO HE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT SOME PROCESSES THAT NEED ATTENTION...
*******
TEH SHATUPON SUNDAY IN THE POURING RAIN WENT OFF WELL... PROBABLY 3 MINUTES TO PRODUCE A WINNER... WHILE MANY OF TEH CROWD GO T INVOLVED WITH TRYING TO GET THE DONKEYS TO WALK IN ONE DIRECTION IN THE AREANA... AS PRACTICE FOT THE SATURDAY'S RACE...-- I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE HAS LINED UP THE SE.. BUT APPARENTLY SHE HAS 2 MORE MO TYPE MULES COMING
******
AS I WENT BCK AND FORTH WITHTHIS CORN PROJECT, I SAW A LAWN DISPLAY OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE A FULL WORK HARNESS FOR SALE ON SOMEONE'S LAWN... I MYST GO SEE WHAT IT IS--- DON'T FORGET... I WAS NOT SURE I NEEDED ONE HARNESS... NOW THE PROSPECT OF 2 MIGHT BE MORE THAN I COULD CONTIN. IT WOUL D BE MO AND POCKETS... OBVIOUSLY WELL SUITED TO BEING A PAIR....
****
APPARENTLY THE HEALTH OF ALL DONKS IS NEARLY NORMAL NOW... ONLY EXCITEMENT WAS THAT MO PUT HER FOOT THRU A BUSHEL BASKET AND PANIC'S AND RAN..... MULES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT... THE ARE SUPPOSED TO STAND STILL WHICH SHE DID VERY QUICKLY BUT IT DID SCARE HER... I HOPE THAT IS NOT WHY ANYONE GOT RID OF HER, OR I AM IN FOR A WILD RIDE AND ONE SET OF UNUSED HARNESS IF I TRY AND "HITCH" HER.

NOT KNOWING HE WAS SEALING HIS FATE, WHEN HIS WIFE BEMOANED TEH FACT THAT SHE WANTED A DANE,, HE SAID "IF YOU FIND ONE LIKE GEORGE GO GET IT"
SANDY KNOWING WE WERE GOING TO WIPE OUT THE FACE JUMPER STEPED RIGHT IN AND SAID " YOU GOT IT.. ONE OF GEORGE'S RELATIVES" .. THEY HAVE ADULT CHILDREN... SHOULD BE A PERFECT HOME FOR JOPLIN... ACTUALLY THEY ARE THRILLED.... AND WE CAN KEEP TRACK OF HIS TRAINING.
