Hard to get excited about going to a game, and doing all that goes along with it, knowing that you have class the next day!

If there were not large watermelons being grown for competitive events, Hope would not be Hope and Arkansas would be a far less colorful place. Thanks for reading the Democrat-Gazette column each Saturday. It's a labor of love. Your class was always a favorite. I can remember pulling limbs off various trees and bushes when I would quail hunt with my dad in order to bring them to you on Mondays for identification.

The articles were unusual in that they were negative in regard to large watermelons. Rex, I am not sure of why she is so opposed to large watermelons grown for competitive events. I am sure I didn't stare at the old girl's boobs. Maybe she will come back sometime when the big melons are ripe and are available for tasting. I look forward to reading your column each Saturday. It reminds me why I switched my biology testing format so that your answers were in written form. It is still fun to me to get your full perspective of what you have experienced and learned.

Especially when you go outsine and there is that first "cool" breeze from the North and you know the end of the 95-105 degree days are over. I remember with so much fondness the days of you and I getting up early and going squirrel hunting, getting a big breakfast and then doing an OBU game. I also have fond memories of the customary "road pop and Roi-tan" afterwards. Rex, there is nothing better than football season in the South.
