Good "Monday Again" Monday Morning, all bodies!
See, you have to understand some people here in Folsom come from a different stock with their own special priorities. For example, we are in the middle of a highly sophisticated topic about automobile oil filter sumps when a friend's eyes set long and hard on a pickup truck that passed by the window of the coffeehouse.
"With her eyes all a twitter, she jumps up out of her chair and yells, "Hay!"
Now, being a city boy who is still trying to find my place in this here town, I answer,"WHAT?"
"No, Barbara says as she points to the window. Not that kinda hey... HAY!"
Her enthusiasm puts a halt to the conversation as everyone watches her run to the window.
"It's hay... two bundles of the good kind of hay sitting in the back of that truck. I wonder where he got it,” she asked hoping that the owner was gonna stop by for a cup of coffee.
Unfortunately, he did not making a right turn at the corner and off into the distance.
With a giggle, I asked her, "Do you always get so worked up about... um, HAY?"
"I do when it's the good brand of hay. You can't get that kind of quality here in Louisiana."
As she continued to explain the differences in hay to anyone who'd listen, I couldn't help but be impressed by Barbara's ability to see and discern one brand of hay from another, and even from the back of a pickup just passing through. Gotta love it though!
