Despite a couple hundred-thousand miles driven down rural roads and highways, I’ve yet to see a pivot irrigation system at work — you know them, those 1/4 mile long trellises that snake through a farmer’s fields. They sit quietly like those dinosaur skeletons on display at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum.

Well, Friday night they were alive in Sudlersville, Maryland and emitting a soft rain. Had it been a tad bit warmer, I just might have done a Gene Kelly dance through the field.
