Thing to do in Homedale

My entire family is currently in Nashville to watch my sister compete in the Miss Teen USA pageant. Well, not my entire family, as I (being one of the members) am still here in good old Idaho. Since I'm currently unemployed I've been out here in Homedale watching the folks' house while they're gone - which I surely can't complain about considering they have an entire deep freeze stocked with frozen food - but the scenery around these parts is limited to churches, farm equipment, and dirt.

To keep myself busy, I've come up with a list of eight activities to get the most out of my Homedale, Idaho experience:

8) Go into the farm supply store dressed in overalls and my own sweat stains and ask "It's normal to hear voices in the fields, right?"
7) Hot-wire a combine from the local John Deere dealer and stage the world's biggest farm equipment demolition derby in the parking lot of the home town grocery store.
6) Set a field on fire and watch it burn from atop a barn.
5) Sit IN the field and set it on fire.
4) One word: "Hamm's."
3) Check out the 4-H babes down at the fairgrounds.
2) Go up to a policeman and say: "I'm sorry officer, my cool-dar has detected that you have exceeded that maximum allowable cool points... Meow."
1) Write on my blog while watching the bug zapper.


I know that plenty of you guys out there grew up (or still live) in small towns. Therefore, I'd like to hear any suggestions that you might have. Heck, even if you've never stepped foot outside the city limits of your urban utopia, you've no doubt at least seen a small berg on the T.V. So go ahead and post your ideas here in the 'leave comment' section of this story.

Don't be shy. The person that sends in the best idea(s) will get a big fat smooch* from me!
