It's that time of year again


Harvest time! When the wheat is golden and everyone's stress management capabilities are, well, stressed.

The combines are huge beasts of machines--the biggest in the business. We have a first taste of the harvest this year: the very high yields are a bright point amidst the gloom of low wheat prices. (Since I'm beginning to sound like a farmer-analyst, this simply means that EVERYONE planted wheat around the world 2 years ago. There's so much of it that it barely costs a thing.)











Mom and my Aunt Vicki (my Dad's sister) came to visit via rental car from TX, via plane from San Francisco. It was great to see Vicki. My mom promised her this road trip because she wasn't able to come to my wedding in March. They got to stay in "The Scale House", and Vicki couldn't get over the dead animal heads hanging from the wall. What a cool building!
