The fair is over and classrooms are humming with activity. These are sure signs that autumn is at our threshold though hot days will still be around as we enter September.

Thomas Martin managed the Jack in the Box restaurant in Oroville, California. He called the police one evening and told them he had been robbed of over $300 as he was closing up that night.

The Farefest was an enormous success. I was impressed with the size of the event and how much of the crowd (estimated at nearly 1000) was local, compared to last year.

Nothing looks worse in a pristine lawn than a patch of crabgrass, with its lighter color green in the summer and purplish hue in the fall.

I heard a rumor the other day; while this rumor is about a thing that would be good were it true, its premature circulation can be detrimental to achieving that good goal foretold in the rumor.

Even life-long Democrats are deserting our beleaguered president these days.
Chuck Green, who writes “Greener Pastures” for the left-leaning Denver Post Aurora Sentinel, wrote an opinion piece that has been burning up cyberspace, called “Obama is victim of Bush’s failed promises.”

Almost everybody loves the Great Darke County Fair. Many people attend just to see the livestock, to revel in the sounds and smells of the barns filled with cows and pigs and sheep and chickens, and to marvel at the hard work, dedication, and skill that produces the grand array.

Well, I had a appointment with my doctor this last week and she prescribed a salve for a “skin irritation” I had. The medicine came and for some unknown reason I actually started reading the little sheet of paper that came with it.

Do you listen to your inner voice? Is your inner voice a male or female voice and is he or she positive or negative? My inner voice sounds identical to my mother and points out all my mistakes, weaknesses and shortcomings.

Tomorrow is the first day of the Great Darke County Fair. Hopefully the hot, humid weather we’ve been having will take a break for next few days.

When I was a teenager, if you said that someone was “out to lunch”, you meant that someone was not thinking very clearly - in your opinion. You really didn’t want others to say you were “out to lunch”.

The heat is constant and draining. But do you remember last February when all we wanted was a break from cold and icy roads? This is when thunder sounds good despite the knowledge of Mother Nature’s power.

Is Life (itself) cliché are does life inspire clichés? Clichés by definition are sayings, expressions, ideas or elements of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect.

Close your eyes for a moment and envision the perfect setting for a flower show. Did you see an extravagant array of floral designs, some which might have been towering while others were small or miniature?

I think the “Dog Days of Summer” are with us. Thank goodness for the cooler mornings. The weather man says three more days of this high temperatures before we have a cool down. I’m ready for the cool down.

I’m impressed with the number of people in Arcanum who walk, ride bikes, jog, or swim on a daily basis. I try to get my walk in every day and I am usually on the street at about the same time every morning.

As I write this, the Greenville school district has just come through a very hard and controversial School bond vote. At this time, the levy was losing by about 76 votes.

As I walk into a house, my sister asked me, “Where were you last night?” As usual, she was of a smug nature toward me. My sister had told me that my husband called and wondered if she had seen me.
