Ahhh...Summer Rain!

One of my favorite things is driving on a hot, humid day through the countryside and it starts to sprinkle and you can smell the summer rain in the air. Ahhhhh!

I had some travelling to do today. In Beaver Dam I stopped by my temp agent in order for her to give me instructions on my first temp assignment back in Wisconsin. Looks like I'll be moving furniture in Fond du Lac for a couple days next week. After that I stopped by my mom at her job (ladies-wear and soft-lines at Wal-Mart). As usual, when she saw me, she wanted to put me to work. She's such a slave-driver! She was marking down socks and sweat-bands down to a DOLLAR! If any of you are interested, now's your chance to jump on the savings bandwagon. I told my mom it all looked like junk to me. She and I have our disagreements about the nature of Wal-Mart. I have the opinion that they are an evil, greedy corporation raping everything in it's path. Although she seems to hate everyone there -management, workers, and customers, she still defends them. I guess I would too, if it was my only source of income. Oh well!
I escaped before she had me pricing socks and stuff I headed toward Columbus, taking the backroads. I could have taken the expressway 151 South, but now that I'm in Wisconsin and not really on any time-schedule, I like to meander around and explore the countryside in my little truck. I drive like one of those old-men I used to whiz past in my younger days. Now I just like to "la-di-da" my way along. Now that I think of it, it's maybe a reaction to all the deer roaming about in the countryside here. Just today on a seven mile span I had three different deer run into the road in front of me while I was driving. Damn deer!
