We're still in a severe drought, though we have had some rain in recent weeks, but this summer was horrible. It's really sad to see farmers plowing under their failed crops, knowing that this is how these people make a living and feed themselves. It was nearly as dry as the desert Southwest, I can tell you, though the real hot weather didn't hit us until August. We had nights in July down in the low '50's, which is absurd.

I don't think you'll find a Wilt plushie in any store, unfortunately. I've got the one that Sparky made for me, which is nearly life-sized, and it's worth WAY more than $50.00, I can tell you-NOT that I would EVER consider selling him! He's pretty much priceless, as far as I'm concerned! The lack of Wilt merchandise, especially considering his popularity, is really sad. If you go by fan-made stuff-fan art, fanfiction, that sort of thing-Wilt and Frankie are arguably the two most popular characters on the show, yet they're the ones given the least attention by the folks who make and sell official Foster's merchandise.

And no, my hair's not blonde, and never has been. I've always been a red-head, a classic example of Celtic bloodlines if ever there was one-red hair, fair skin, freckles, green eyes-the whole nine yards, lol!

I know why you missed the post-- you were distracted by your school's block on the site!

In all honesty, I haven't even set FOOT in South Carolina-- the closest I've come is your northern neighbor, North Carolina. (Duh. )-- so I'm surprised that I was relatively close. I find the temperatures being in 50s to be something I'd like up here-- it's insanely cold right now. (Althought the drought is terrible, don't get me wrong. Hopefully it'll get better * Knock on wood *)

I've gone on an online hunt for a Wilt plushie-- nothing. I think I saw some pictures of the plushie Sparky made on DA (very nice, by the way!), and I figure it's worth MUCH more than $50, too. The one in my dream was rather small-- about a foot tall. I've often complained long and hard about the distinct lack of Wilt merchandise, not to mention the HT Shirt Fiasco! Wilt does seem to be the most popular focus in fanart I've seen, so the lack of merchandise is horrible. C'mon, give him some merchandise for cryin' out loud!!!!

Huh, wonder where I pulled dishwater blonde from if you're not? Well, here's hoping the next post I put out there won't be from a nice padded room!

Man, I went on smiley OVERLOAD in this post...
