I was running the drip sprinklers on the orchard today. This big coachwhip came over to get a drink. A welcome site because those field rats like to chew on the drip line.

Well, with post hurricane shopping, you can’t find bread in the stores.

Really? The morning news shows one arrow as direct hit on the chestnut farm and the other arrow as a direct hit on the mango farm.
