The Last WORD
(or two) Puts -30- on Season 10
Some guy named "Anonymous" (who seems
to have said and written quite a lot) once said,
allegedly, "A conclusion is the place where
you got tired of thinking." That's the
place where the WORD finds itself today.
So as the 113th graduating class of Utah State
University streams for the doors (and the faculty
scrape themselves off their classroom floors),
the WORD and I join the flocks of hopeful summer
folk. "The point of good writing is knowing
when to stop," said writer L.M.
Montgomery. I'm stopping, and commit myself
-- and you all -- to whatever gentle summery
muses are out there.
The WORD will
escape, as usual, and afflict the unsuspecting
once again in August. Until then, summer well,
friends.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO MY DESERT?:
Hyrum cows discover a fine new pond in their pasture.
The flooding in northern Utah has swamped basements
and washed out gravel roads. Utah State University
Extension offers a wide range of information for
flood preparedness and recovery at its Web site,

Quite
a water hazard here at the Logan River Golf Course.
Swamped
trees line the old Mendon highway.
The Logan
River expands to fill southwest Logan neighborhoods.
Water stands in Wellsville fields.
It pays
to keep your sense of humor!
