I have nothing profound to blog about; however, I was watching Martha Stewart this morning. She was at the Iowa State Fair; I tuned in as she was observing the angus cow competition and she was talking to some 4th generation angus raiser. What was funny about him was the way he was talking about the cows and his family tradition of raising them. Now, I am all for tradition and what not but this guy came to tears about three times talking about the "heffers." Are people in Iowa THAT lonely?
Next she goes on to the food tents where her guest was an Indian guy dressed in jeans, plaid, and a neck bandana with a half beard...with an accent...talking about pies....near a COW competition. Oh, but it gets better....we go back to the cow competition and all these girls in the youth division are talking about their heffers/bulls and this one girl's cow started mooing loudly in the middle of her talking and she backhanded the thing across the face. I was laughing so hard; I was waiting for her to call the cow "Susan." And finally, the last segment featured some seed farm with rare and endangered plants and produce. Part of the piece focused on extractig seeds from tomatoes and fermenting them to get the membrane off the indivudal seeds. Well...Martha cannot control herself from tasting one of the jucy red tomatoes she is handling so she takes a piece then another one, and her guest, who runs the farm, says, "I'll try a piece of that," and reaches for one and she eats the piece and he keeps trying to get in on the action and she keeps scarfing down the tomatoes.
And that is how my day began....exciting isn't it? I am sure I will have something more intelligent to say later.
