EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied

One of my favorite songs. Yes, everybody knows, and they are angry and frightened. They should be.

Not bad, Admin. I give it a 5, maybe 6, out of 10. Good message, but Cohen could have kicked it up a notch with a boost from the background singers.

Ok, I’m bumping it to a 7. Listened twice. Hats. coats and ties in the band. Totally cool for 2008 concert in London. Decent (barely) beat and good guitar work.

I have been listening to Cohen for over a half hour now. I can’t stop.

We adopted some castaway chickens from my cousin who thought they were no longer productive. They just needed a chicken whisperer. I am the chicken whisperer.

Zen and the Art of Feeding Chickens coming soon. I get 5 eggs a day after only two weeks. Poor homeless chickens living in a cardboard box. He has a lovely red hen house he paid more than a thousand dollars to build. I visited his new chickens today and took away his problem… 150 gallons of dried fertilizer that had built up in the house and pen, preventing the chickens from getting at good dirt. I dug it up, washed it all out, spread straw and gave the new girls a pep talk and told them I’d come from time to time to check on them.

And now, my new lawn has some of the best fertilizer known to man for free. I figure an organic farmer would have paid a pretty penny for what I happened upon today.

Here are my new charges:

And here are their excited guardians. The two sifa are so thrilled to have a new flock to watch. They watch them and warn them when hawks are near. They needed a job. Chickens aren’t goats, but they are better than nothing to these two.

We have their pen up now, so they aren’t completely depending on cardboard, but I’m thinking the U-haul box covered with high quality tarp may be their home this winter. With a heat lamp on the coldest days

It’s coming together

I wonder if admin is checking my fb page, it can’t be, I put LC greatest hits on “me only” just yesterday. I had, just had to listen to ‘the future’ and then went on to ‘dance me’ and finally decided ‘A thousand kisses deep’ is sublime.

Too bad you morons can’t understand Spanish, the golden era of Spanish singers back in the 80’s produced some of the most exciting music from real artists, not the bullshit songsters we have now.

Look up Rafael “Que tal te va sin mi?” (How goes it without me?) or Leonardo Favio “Ella – ya me olvido” (She – already forgot me)

I tried to get my son hooked on Santana recently. He just didn’t seem to remember any of his Spanish from 9th grade. Haha… soooooopryze.

By the way, I took a picture of me “going in” to clean the henhouse while my cousin was at work. I crack myself up… and the following picture is of “Don King” the lone rooster I did not kill last summer when I discovered that my cousin had 7 roosters with 8 hens. Poor girls were getting raped every day… so was poor Don because they were all Rhode Island Reds and he’s probably a Silkey Bantam, though it is hard to tell since they mutilated his headfeathers. He’s the cock of the pen now… see that hen stalking him there?

And when the man I married who loves me as Christ loved his church (most people never pay attention to that part) is with me… it is righteous and gives me chills.

Why can’t you just leave me the hell alone?
