This past Tuesday, Pennsylvania held their primary elections. It was a quiet election. In my area, most positions were uncontested, so there wasn’t much to vote on. But still, I was surprised there wasn’t much talk about the election. I didn’t hear anyone talk about the election before it was held, and the day after, I only heard one person bring up the topic. For some reason, people weren’t interested in this primary.

What were they interested in? What did they talk about all week?

We’ve had rain every day since last Thursday. Not a lot of rain most days, but some each day. Although rain was a regular topic, what people really wanted to talk about was their grass. Because of the rain, the grass has been growing profusely, and people haven’t been able to mow. Everyone’s lawns are getting long. People were speculating about the rain holding off long enough to mow their lawns after work. Will the rain let up over the weekend so we can cut the grass? People couldn’t get enough of the topic.
