Reason #3: Poop Shooters!

This is exactly what you think it is

Here's the deal with poop shooters: I don't actually know what they are.

What I do know is that they are large impact sprinklers with high-pressure poop/water running through it being blasted across fields to fertilize them. That's about it. I don't know if there is a specific name for the sprinkler or if there's even a name for the technique. Perhaps we made it up? I would love to know more, and I've been trying to learn more all summer, but the internet is very lacking on this subject.

Why would it be a reason I love where I live? Well, where else do you find something so hilarious? I honestly don't know anybody else who has heard of these. Besides, it's fun to say. Try it: poop shooter! Or you may try crap cannon, and a few other creative names as you think about the various words for poop (though it is my favorite).

The disadvantage: it's the only time I actually smell the cow poop--when the poop shooters are going and the lovely fertilizer has a chance to ripen in the sun and waft toward my yard. About 8 or 9 days out of the year, so most of the time I'm safe.

But still.
