so corny....

I do my weekday morning runs in my hood.  On Saturdays, I venture out a little bit.  My house is a couple of miles from the edge of town and Clarksville is surrounded by farms.  Some farms have already had a wheat planting this year.  Now they are switching to soy beans and tobacco.  Other farms have massive amounts of acreage committed to corn.  My run is all on 2 lane roads and the corn comes within 5 ft of the road edge in some places.  The locals say that corn should be knee high by the 4th of July.  The crops were about 7 ft tall by then this year.  So much for folklore.  The corn's as high as an elephants eye.  The good thing about being surrounded by corn is that no one can see how slow I'm going.  giggle
