Outdoors

In case you're wondering, being outside when the temperatures are over 100 degrees is just a little insane, unless of course you have to be.

As for me, I haven't stepped outside in a week. First off, I have a spider bite on my hand that's been giving me fits. I don't know what kind it was. We weren't formally introduced, but I know it hurt!

Anyway, my hand swelled to three times its normal size and was accompanied by a high fever.

Ok, early deadline again! So, here I sit with not much in the way of anything to write about! But, all is not lost.
What we're going to talk about is fishing. And, not just any kind of fishing. We're going to talk about fishin' on top.
Topwater fishing is about the most exciting form of fishing there is. You're usually restricted to about four hours fishing topwater.
That's two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The morning hours usually start an hour before sunrise and end an hour after the sun comes up.

Over the weekend, the Kentucky Junior All-Stars played a pair of games against the Indiana Junior All-Stars, and two Marion County Lady Knights were selected to represent Kentucky.
Makayla Epps and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers both played for Kentucky Friday and Saturday in games at North Oldham High School. Indiana won both games.
On Friday night, Indiana won 101-98 in spite of a 44-point effort by Becca Greenwell of Owensboro Catholic.
Goodin-Rogers scored 11 points for the Kentucky squad, and Epps added six points.
