August Sunlight This summer we have seen our usual hot sunshiny days of over 100F with the sun’s angles being sharp and anxious to inflict skin cancers. Just another proven fact we chose to ignore each summer. But even sunscreens can only provide limited help and I am one who can testify that skin cancers are not only a rude interruption to your life, they can be painful and deadly. That’s one reason my grandpa, J. T. Bullard, farming down on Goat Ridge, worked in a long sleeve shirt and wore a broadbrim hat. He was a farmer and knew how to cover up. I think they might call that wisdom.

Freedom to move about the country is a wonderful privilege. Let us be appreciative of our freedom this fourth of July week. Recently, I was taking a late-night walk, in Owenton, Kentucky. Owenton is a little town of maybe six hundred people in rural north central Kentucky. I had just finished watching the sad Biden-Trump debate and decided that a walk and some ice cream sounded good I walked to our local convenience store which is about a half mile from where I was staying in Owenton. It was a beautiful summer night and I only saw two cars on the road in route to the store. I bought an ice cream bar, and had it eaten within twenty steps of the store when the only car I saw on the way home pulled up beside me and someone asked, "Sir, are you alright?" It was the local city police. I responded, "Yes sir, I'm doing fine." He asked, "Would you like a ride home?" To which I replied, "No sir, I'm just out for a walk." He then asked, "Have you been drinking?" I replied, "No sir, just been eating a Snicker's Ice Cream Bar." He continued, "Are you sure?" "Yes sir, I'm sure." He then asked, "Where are you going?" I told him the street which was only about five more minutes of walking time. I thought all was well as he and another policeman drove off, but they made a U-turn and pulled right back up in front of me. The cop got out of the car and told me he wanted to do a breathalyzer test. I've never had one in my life. I agreed to it. He was right in the middle of the street. I walked out to meet him, and he told me to blow into the straw. I complied. He shook his head because, of course, the test was negative. He told me his name and I responded by telling him mine and we shook hands. He told me to be safe walking home. He then wanted to know exactly where I lived, and I gave him the street name and house number.
