| Me and my dog interupted the circle of life this morning |
|
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 01:55 PM by warrior1
asked me anything.
Whilst taking a run with me dog this morning, we saw a chicken strutting down the sidewalk ahead of us. Unbeknownst to all of us, was hidden, a brown point Siamese cat in the ivy near the chicken. Cat saw us first and bolted, chicken got scared (no pun intended) and started strutting fast as it's chicken legs would go. Had we not have been on that sidewalk at that moment this could have ended tragically for the bird.

full grown chicken, but the cats in the neighborhood are fat off of the squirrel depopulations.

| 6. You must be a country person. Eh? |

I buy my eggs from an herb farmer who has a yard of beautiful, organically kept, chickens. She is more worried about hawks than anything. However, she did put me on the qui vive for coyotes here in the western NC mountains. I told her my Nick-Nick VS Panther story and she related panther sightings in that part of Transylvania County. She also has a big problem with local GOP operatives with her hens. CHICKEN-HAWKS. Sorry, couldn't resist.

last year our two chickens stopped laying eggs. Tom thought it was because they were "vindictive bitches" but I convinced him they were kinda old (they have since passed away)

I live in the city. So to see a chicken was strange.

| 9. What if the chicken was meant to die that instant... |
|
and you interrupted the timestream, causing enormous calamity five years from now?
What if that cat, not occupied by feasting on the chicken, runs into the street, causing a physician cancer researcher to swerve her Saab into a tree--which kills her instantly, when she would have discovered the cure for cancer next year?
My God, what have you done?!
You'll have to go back in time and fix it.

that's the best answer yet. And sorry I blew the worlds chance at curing cancer.
But, maybe the chicken who's still alive will feed a child who will grow up and find the cure to AIDS?
