Rumor has it that someone has been dumping chickens down here in my neighborhood.For several weeks now I have enjoyed the crowing of the immigrant rooster every morning and evening. That boy nearly wore himself out during the eclipse. He must have figured those were the shortest days in history.I'm not so sure that some of my neighbors are as unconcerned as I am about the free range poultry around here.Personally I like chickens. I like the calmness it brings to mind of simpler times as I watch them scratching around looking for a meal. It reminds me of me ...
