Cortland's Dog Days

     How hot is it in Cortland County? This is what our neighbors say:
     1) Robins are pulling cooked worms from the ground; some robins are using potholders.
     2) Trees and fire hydrants are whistling for dogs to pee on them.
     3) Chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.
     4) When corn in Truxton started popping on stalks and flying up in the air, cows thought it was snowing and they froze to death.
     5) Some cows are producing powered milk, others are producing evaporated milk; the rest of the cows are sun-cooked and ready for barbecue sauce.
     6) Squirrels are fanning their nuts. Both sexes.
     7) The sun is looking for shade.
     8) Nothing in this list is original. It's hot air warmed over.
