It's one of two stops on the way to the Liberty.
Hannibal and the throwed roll town.
I think I made the brilliant decision to mow a bit shorter approximately 5 minutes after the last time it rained.
My boy Terry Swails has an awesome blog on this:

I have picked a great summer for having new concrete and retaining walls. The ground is hard, the grass is dead. Soil moves easily. Reseed, cover with clippings the last week of August and water water water. Dry is good for my situation. I have a tree trimmed a year ago when the frost was going out of the ground. Permanent ruts that are now being fixed. The dirt here in my town works easily, like sand. Very very dry. It was this dry in 1990 or, I remember I certified 93 bushels an acre. Had it insured for 90. Man the way corn has changed in 30 years.
Not an expert, but I think you are correct. More of a golden brown is ok, but after 2-3 weeks and starts to change to gray/white it may not recover with rain.
The Temperature Index is the thing: https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/16/weather/weekend-forecast-heat-wave-us/index.html
You go to grad parties in your vinyl bondage gear? I guess that's one way to embarrass your kids, but that may be a step too far.
Have to attend an outdoor wedding at 4pm on Saturday when the heat index is forecasted to be 109.....and wear a face mask. This is not going to end well.
