we're remodeling

around these.

thoughts?

so, i took a break from writing

sat outside - in the backyard - and had some one on one time w/Clem.

my fuzzy-footed rooster, cochin banny-type.

purchased @ a gas station in wilmington, ca.

unfortunately he didn't say much.

no, no, no.

the high-pitch cacophony of shrieks occurs @ 4:15 am.

on the dot.

every.

god.

damned.

morning.

but we chatted.

he stared.

and pooped.

and blinked.

and pecked @ my nipples.

and went through a series of tourette-like head jerks.

which has been captured, via a sony cybershot, for posterity.

hey, whaddya expect? i've been laid up for the last few days w/the pig flu...

i'm asking you to believe

hope

Cornelius, my Rhode Island Red

laid her first eggs!

i know, i shouldn't be that excited, but i am.

medium-sized brown and hormone free.

basking in so-cal sun.

cracked corn eating;

free-ranging;

pooping machines.

and now, egg-laying.

good shit.

(cameo's by rusty the doxie)

website of the month...

okay, so i've got some chickens. even made a big ole coop with my girl.

im talking chicken wire, two-by-fours, three-inch self-tapping screws, and whatever miscellaneous crap i could scrounge up.

looks a like a cross between a peasant favela and a 19th century isolation cage for chronic

masturbators.

nevertheless, i ran across this website few weeks ago and...

...have been transfixed ever since.

you see, there's a story among the rhode island reds' for sale and erudite tips on de-beaking leghorns.

just check it out. take some time. click around. interesting as hell.

people.

hell with the celebs. the politicians. the pundits. with their baby dicks and brilliantly white teeth.

people.
