When pigs carry sticks...


...the clouds will play tricks, according to June weather lore from The Old Farmer's Almanac. I haven't tested that one out, but I do know it is good weather for holding onto your hat and not wearing skirts. My step-dad told me yesterday that June is actually the windiest month of the year, although everyone thinks March is. What amazes me is that I am always surprised by what the weather does, even though I have lived in a 30-mile radius all my life. Silly human.

I realize that the entire month of May has gone by without a newspaper update on my behalf. I think this would be the perfect opportunity to apply for a subscription of The Rotan Advance - Roby Star Record and to also back-order all of the May issues. Just click on the newspaper link to the right-hand side of this page.

I believe the Rotan paper to be the best local newspaper around, and I mean that they beat out Abilene, Sweetwater and Snyder. I will agree that all contain useful information, but the Rotan paper only puts local news on the front page, the subjects of the photos are identified, and the news within is local and relevant to the community. Get yours today!

Okay, I'll give you a little taste of what you would be purchasing. Here is the bare bones of the June 5, 2008 Rotan Advance / Roby Star Record issue:
