Not many dead birds lately but to bring this back on topic (well sorta), today I'm running along and there on the side of the road is a dead chicken. Now If I was was inclined to think like Clemens I might speculate on whether she (pretty sure it was a hen) was from the Greek Little's or the Viet Nam Little's. Poor critter must have expired while flying over MS on her annual migration. :-) Well, I'm no Clemens but I did tend to chickens as a youth. I never saw one fly more than 10' and that was launching from the top of the coop or some such vertical advantage. So I have calmed myself that HN51 hasn't landed in Hickory, at least not yet. JR PS: I apologize for consuming list bandwidth with humor but it is close to on topic and mostly true. Laughing is supposed to stimulate the immune system. Of course if you don't find me funny... I've both wasted bits and failed. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
