** I went to my nearby pharmacy and asked to speak to the pharmacist on duty. As I waited, I took out my little brown bottle, along with a teaspoon and set them up on the counter. The pharmacist came over, smiled, and asked if he could help me. I said, “Yes! Could you please taste this for me?” Seeing a senior citizen, the pharmacist went along. He took the spoon, put a tiny bit of the liquid on it, put it on his tongue and swished it around. Then, with a stomach-churning look on his face, he spat it out on the floor and began coughing. When he was finally finished, I looked him right in the eye and asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?” The pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “ABSOLUTELY NOT!” I said, “Oh, thank God! That’s a real relief! My doctor told me to have a pharmacist test my urine for sugar.”

The better alfalfa sold well and mid to lower quality alfalfa sold mostly steady. Grass continues to sell steady. We had several loads of preventive plant hay in today – baled mostly out of condition and not much demand. There was not much straw, but straw is selling steady. Cornstalks settled in the 50’s today.

We would like to thank all veterans past and present for your service to our country. We had a very small crowd in today. Market was lower on a very light test with very little buyer interest.

DON’T FORGET: Monday sales have started!! ATTENTION ALL HAY HAULERS: The road through Hudson is closed and you will not be able to get through that way. It will remain closed until further notice.

** My husband and I were dressed and ready to go out for a lovely evening of dinner and theater. Having been burgled in the past, we turned on a ‘night light’ and then put the cat in the backyard. When our Uber arrived, we walked out our front door and out rather chubby cat scooted between our legs inside and ran up the stairs. Because our cat likes to chase our parakeet, we didn’t want to leave them unchaperoned, so my husband ran inside to retrieve her and put her in the back yard again. Because I didn’t want the Uber driver to know our house was going to be empty all night, I explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding my mother. A few minutes later he got into the Uber all hot and bothered and said (to my growing horror and amusement) as the car pulled away, “Sorry it took so long, but the big stupid was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her in the butt with a coat hanger to get her to come out. She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn’t scratch me like she did last time. But it worked! I hauled her fat butt down the stairs and threw her into the backyard. She had better not poop in the vegetable garden again.” The silence in the Uber was deafening.
