Today at Iten's Acres: Factoids September 23, 2012

Two totally unrelated earth-shattering truths:
Factoid number one: I am doing at least 100 toe touches every day! Impressive, eh? You know, bend over, pick up a walnut, stand up, throw it in the trees. Bend over, pick up a walnut, stand up . . . You get the idea. Tell me, why is it that in a summer of drought when the corn, soy beans, and everything else is having trouble producing fruit, do my walnut trees have a bazillion nuts? Huh, expert horticulturists? Explain that one to me. And I wonder--you know those guys that blow up buildings, and they just collapse straight down? I wonder if they could do that with walnut trees? Kaboom! Gone forever. Yes. (Even better if some squirrels are in the tree when they do it.)

Factoid number dos: The weather channel people have FAS syndrome. No, really. I happened to turn to that channel today to see if it really is going to be in the low 30s in the middle of September, and some weather "genius" (no offense Jen Myers) was giving his long term predictions for this winter. And after he gave his prognostications, he said, "for more details get a copy of this year's Farmer's Almanac." Say what? FAS syndrome. On the weather channel no less. Sad. What did he predict? I give no credence to anyone who has the syndrome! Well, I mean, other than myself, of course. Pardon? What are my winter prognostications? We will have weather every day. Guaranteed. So cheer up!!! You'll have something to complain about all winter long!!!!
