Fog, drizzle and four road blockades

At first I thought of a possible road accident, but soon I learned that protesting farmers have blocked the road ahead. Not at all, they are very right to protest, and I have no issue with the farmers – we all share the same enemy, our own President. Protest indeed! Trying that option, I find it blocked as well.

Personally I wasn’t happy, but I do not live there and do not have a septic tank in my backyard, so I felt that I had no right to complain. Then a famous local actress, Svetlana Bojkovic, visited the protesters when a loaded lorry arrived, so she took part in stopping it. Did he hear the citizens?

Open Season on Bald Eagles

Look at the facts, lay your emotions aside and listen to reason—exactly the same reasoning that’s been so persuasive in convincing me that hunting cranes is the right thing to do. It’s our right to hunt whatever wildlife is abundant enough to support the harvest. We’ve always hunted Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles are delicious.

On Dr. Gassett’s answering machine, which someone calling to protest the hunt is likely to encounter, is a similar message about the quality of crane meat. The big gray feather in Kentucky’s cap, to my thinking, is more like a big old hole, shot right through the crown. Well, fire up my grill.
