See what I miss when I don't go on line for one night! Good news, Captain. As for "sweet natured" Jacqui - Kndall has met his match. Although I would expect her to take out his vocal cords with a crochet hook.

Jacqui, dear heart, Think how many married women would love to have a man who communicates.

Hmmnnn...

Now, I worked as a part time barmaid in North London in the 70s. I thought that I had learned a lot of 'communication' in the pubs but Kendall has definitely added to my education in that respect.

Not at me, I hasten to add, but even I've been rather surprised at the descriptive terms he can dredge up for the former president, inanimate objects such as kitchen units and cars as well as phone companies that overcharge him.

It's keeping him quiet after operations that gets to be a problem. I think I'll take a roll of duct tape with me next time!

Tell them he gets feisty when he comes out of anaesthia and ask that his hands be tied to the bed rails.

Then shove something in his mouth. Seamus might lend you one of his old tennis balls or a rawhide bone or something.

Due to budget restraints we've had to turn out the light at the end of the tunnel.

When it's cloudy, I am home well before dark. It's illegal to be in the woods here after dark with "the aid of a light".

Gnu, I never heard of a law like that. Is the rationale prevention of people "shining" game, or what?

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's bad news (May 2009)
From: gnu
Date: 06 Jun 09 - 09:38 PM

Yup. It's called "harassing game". It's a law that is seldom used. It gives the wardens the ability to harass known poachers before they jack deer.

I know a guy who jacks bulls. Works for an artificial insemination company. The bulls are in a tight pen. I didn't know it was a crime to jack deer in Canada, but they must be some kind of tough poachers up there. I suppose it would be a crime to get the buck deer all excited and then...well, never mind.

The most elegant couple in Maine just stopped by our farm. Kendall and Jacqui looked wonderful, and it was a delight to show them a little of our efforts here before they headed home.

They gave us a beautiful 5 foot Oak tree. The one I planted for Utah died, and they were kind enough to replace it.
You should see their place, all kinds of life all around them! Flora and Fauna as far as you can see.They have gone back to the land and it is obvious that the land wants them back.

Thank you my dear friends.

And they have free range chickens - absolutely beautiful ones! It is a lovely place, very hard work, but it will be very rewarding.

And they put up UNPAINTED bird houses for the wild birds.

I get irritated when I see painted bird houses. They are not natural and birds wont use them.

Free range chickens? Do they have a roundup every spring and brand the chicks? Do they hire on chickboys for it? What about the fall roundup? I can just hear the songs of the night guard as they circle the flock: "Get along little chickies get along, get along...." and "Little Joe The Chicken Wrangler" and "I'm An Old Chick Hand". Nothing like a chicken stampede, either, with the chickboys trying to circle them back and the lightning cracking overhead, a couple of chickboys trampled....

"Yee-ha! Head 'em up! Gotta get this flock to Machiasport!"

We didn't see Headless Jesus - there was too much else to inspect and too many mosquitoes for me to stay out there too long.

Sorry RAP - the only round up was done by Maeve, when the chickens got too close to a forbidden area and she gently shooed them back to their own ground.

Do they have a chickwagon on the roundup? I knew a guy who had a chick wagon -- different sort of thing, though.
