   I remember a bad drought in 1976 too, the year of America’s 200th birthday. I remember the 4th of July that year. I saw people on tv wearing red, white, and blue clothes. I tried to figure out how they could feel like celebrating when there was such a bad drought going on. I don’t think surreal is the right word to say how it looked to me. Maybe obtuse is the word. I thought those people were obtuse to what was happening in America at the time. Still by the end of the day, after seeing the 4th of July celebrations on tv, I didn’t feel like celebrating.

   I do remember feeling proud of America, and happy, when I saw reports on tv of farmers donating bails of hay that were loaded on semis and brought to areas of America where farmers were hit the worst by the drought.
