I was delighted to see, during my drive through the length of Pennsylvania this weekend, a sign posted on a barn saying, alongside a cow's face:
Eat more chicken.

Along that trip, I learned a new expression I had never seen previously, posted on the highway-facing side of an aged side-building, alongside an apparently vacant farmhouse that seemed as though it had not been painted since the 30', still keeping proud company, however, with its equally fatigued barn and non-productive couple of fields, announcing:
Farmette for sale.

The cow with the "Eat more Chikin" sign has been used by a chain of fast food chicken restaurants named Chic-Filet.
They are not open on Sundays or religious holidays and were involved, along with Hobby Lobby, in the suit against Obamacare because it required
abortions to be allowed. There were some other businesses involved in that suit,which they won, because it required the business to pay for insurance
for something in which they were morally opposed.
Not a well composed paragraph so I hope it is understandable.

I once had a rooster I would have gladly donated to the cause.

I still have some rather vague scars on my legs from being attacked by a rooster when I was six years old.
That rooster was evil. He would look at me, **** his head and run at me. I learned to run faster than
him and he learned to run away from me when I picked up a six foot pole.

I know of no limits on snapping turtles. I don't even see them mentioned in the Pa.

Snapping Turtle Soup... looks delicious.



Saveur magazine recently asked, "Why Don't People Eat Turtle Soup Anymore?"
"Not so long ago you could find Campbell's turtle soup sitting alongside minestrone and tomato in grocery stores throughout the country. What happened?"

One former collector reported that he and his colleagues removed several tons of Aligator Snapping Turtles from the Flint River. He stopped when there weren't enough left to make it worthwhile.

Alligator snapping turtles are now afforded some protection in every state in which they occur. Even Louisana, once the hub of the turtle soup industry, outlawed commercial colleciton of this species in 2004.

As for Pennsylvania, no limit for Mitch, but for commercial collection these are the rules.

I like the pole part of the story.

I have difficulty imaging myself cowering if confronted by a bird, even such as a turkey or goose, which I have seen people do on America's Funniest Videos , from time to time. Why not turn and face them, I say to myself, or grab one by the neck, swing it around in several circles in the air, saving the option of wringing its little neck with one sharp snap. (Is that cruel? Does that make me a bad person? I'll ask a hunter next time I see one .)

It was still working after the Fariseos got through beating it with their sticks. Got the pictures off of it before the battery went dead.

Are YOU serious ?

Cage match - Murph vs. a goose.

Here's a totally unbiased and impartial ref for the match:

Yes.

When I work on the reservation I try to avoid the Fariseos. I don't know that they have ever killed anyone, but my friends have reported being chased by them and having their cars beat on with the sticks.

The Fariseos participation in the Yaqui Easter ceremony is described by a Universtiy of Arizona white paper:=> http://www.uapress.arizona.edu/onlinebk ... rticip.htm

Thank you for that clarification. Fun to know.
Are they anywhere near: Apache Sit greaves National Forest, in Arizona, or Diamond Rock Camp grounds (once Native American land) , places I have been tempted to explore. Someday. Perhaps soon.

Murph,
remember I was six and not much bigger than the rooster when it attacked me.

Oh yeah. Maybe he was after your eyes or your nose, then, huh. All the more reason why I am glad for the long pole part. Smart kid. And apparently, a good survivor!
