Scopes Monkey aTrial Re-enactment

 A re-enactment of the Scope's Monkry trial was performed in Bryan Park in Salem today. For those who are not local, William Jennings Bryan was born in Salem, Illinois and ran for president three times, also lost three times. He was the prosecutor in this case. Scopes was accused of teaching evolution to his students, which went against the Bible. He was defended by the famous Clarence Darrow.The trial was eventually held outside as it was July and extremely hot. It was the first trial broadcast nationally on radio 100 years ago this month. As soon as the play started it began raining and rained for an hour and a half. The rain ended as soon as the play was over! Me and my dear friend Teresa Dalton sat in the rain under an umbrella and got drenched. Everyone else stayed too. We then went to El Patron for some delicious Mexican food. We had a nice long visit. Quite the interesting day!

Lightening bugs

 A few lightening bugs that I managed to catch as they were signaling to their contenders. There are really lots of them right now. They didn't cooperate very well with my picture taking...Anyway, it sure is quiet around here since our young people were put on an 8:00 curfew after some of them were damaging property around town, including breaking a huge plate glass window on our large antique shop. Shame on them!
