I just recorded this traffic on the nashville network. This is a healthy and active network. My understanding is there are a few areas of the US similar to this such as around Washington State and into BC Canada.

Bought a billy goat at auction today. He’s a shade of red. Wife wants to call him ginger billy
🤣14🥰2👏2😁1
We’re keeping him in a paddock with a common fence to where all the nanny goats are. So they can become familiar for a day or two.
He’s hiding under the chicken coop. He came out for scratchies. A rooster crowed and made him jump out of his skin.
I gotta give him a day or two to find his way here. He’s an old soul.

Your great-grandmother was not trying to manifest a beach vacation. She was not curating an aesthetic. She was not
optimizing...anything. She had a list, and the list was short, and the list was sacred.
A full pantry. Healthy children. A roof that did not leak. A husband who came home. A garden that produced. A few good dresses. A reliable stove. Sunday dinner with people she loved.
Enough flour for the week and enough kindness for the neighbors.
That was the whole dream. That was the whole life. And by the standards of most of human history, achieving that list was a roaring success.
Then the twentieth century happened, and somebody figured out that a woman who is content is terrible for business. A woman with a full pantry is not running to the store. A woman who is satisfied with her kitchen is not redoing it every four years. A woman who knows what enough looks like cannot be sold the next thing.
So they got to work. They made the small house embarrassing. They made the old car embarrassing. They made the home-cooked meal embarrassing, and then when nobody knew how to cook anymore they sold it back as a meal kit with a celebrity chef on the box. They raised the cost of living until both parents had to work, and then they sold daycare and convenience food and weekend therapy to fix the exhaustion that working both jobs created in the first place.
They took your great-grandmother's list and called it poverty. They took her life and called it limited. They took her contentment and called it a lack of ambition.
And then they sold you ambition. They sold you a bigger house you cannot clean, a car you cannot pay off, a wardrobe you do not wear, a calendar you cannot survive, and a vague constant feeling that you are still falling behind.
You are not falling behind. You are running a race that was designed to have no finish line.
The race itself is the product.

We just received another 200 meat birds for customers in NC. One brooder wasnt enough, so we split the chicks across two. I really like these ceramic heaters vs using heat lamps. They pull a lot less current and dont pose fire dangers. We should be processing another batch soon thats reached maturity. Let me know if you want to know what kind of brooder heaters we use.
