My entire family thought there was no way I'd make it through the entire summer (cause of the nasty bugs and having to get up at 4am) but they underestimated my stubborness and desire to prove them wrong. I had perfect attendance! My arms were so cut up from the corn leaves and I would have dreams about walking through the rows pulling tassles. But for a 13 year old, it seemed like a lot of money. The next summer I got certified to be a lifeguard and stuck with that for the next 8 years. It was much better.

some detassling, but mostly planting, taking notes, counting, harvesting, pollinating.... research plots. 15 years of it. | |

Well, Vaya con Diablo I guess. Sorry if I seem a little unsympathetic, but having spent the last few weeks in 106+ weather will do that. hope you grew a pair. | |

 I agree...we northerners aren't used to this type of weather...plus there are five giant inland seas around us that make things swamp-like all summer long. | |

The only good thing about this hot weather is that the few hot looking women in this city aren't wearing much. | |
