Wow. That's a nice one.

rcocean said...

Yeah, that a cool sunset.

Wince said...

Looks like a radioactive plume emanating from those three smoke stacks.

tcrosse said...

So the sunrise can hit the capitol dome, depending on where you stand. I should have known.

Bob Boyd said...

What's brown and sticky and lays on the ground?

Bob Boyd said...

A stick.

Meade said...

I was about to say a brown hen that stepped in pig manure. (Pardon my French.)

Meade said...

Civility pig manure.

I was about to say a brown hen that stepped in pig manure.

So what? It fainted? It just...gave up? I mean sure, the hen would be disgusted, who wouldn't? But it's not going to lay on the ground, I don't think.

I think the hen would stand on it's clean foot and try to shake the pig manure off. If that didn't work, it would try wiping it's foot on something. I don't don't think it would just lay down. Unless it was clinically depressed. Then it might.

This was to be Nebraska's year. Just like last year, and the year before, ...

Bob Boyd said...

How's this hen of yours been doing, Meade? Emotionally, I mean. Has it been having a hard time?

Meade said...

I should've said: a brown hen who stepped in pig manure after her chic trend-following backyard urban chicken-farming former owner mistakenly thought she had aged out of egg laying but lo and behold she had one final egg to lay and so she laid it on the bare cold ground next to a stick because where else is she going to lay it now that she doesn't have a coop. Sad, huh?

Meade said...

"Chic"
Pardon my French again.

Meade said...

Oh, just to be clear — I meant to say an abandoned brown hen.

tcrosse said...

Do brown hens come from brown eggs? Or is it the other way around?

Bob Boyd said...

So the hen was indeed homeless and despondent, but laying on the ground, not lying on the ground. I get it. That's a really good guess.

Maybe it's holding a cardboard sign,
Coopless
Pooped
Anything will help.




Meade said...

Abandoned chic backyard brown seemingly aged-out hens who lay brown eggs on the ground next to a stick typically come from Madison, Wisconsin. From the Willy Street neighborhood mostly because, well, just because.

From the Willy Street neighborhood mostly because, well, just because.

It's the Crystal Corner effect.

Meade said...

That was an answer to tcrosse: "Do brown hens come from brown eggs?"

Meade said...

"Crystal Corner"

Ground zero for hen abandonment.

Bob Boyd said...

Now I'm getting depressed.

Meade said...

What you need, Bob, is a joke to cheer you up:

Abandoned brown hen walks into the Crystal Corner bar on Willy Street.
Bartender: What'll you have, Ms. Hen?
Abandoned brown hen: Do you have any sticks? I need to scrape something off my shoe.
Bartender: Sure, coming right up! Make yourself at home.
Abandoned brown hen (grinning): Gee, thanks! Wow, I feel like I've just died and gone to Nirvana!

tcrosse said...

Bartender: Shoes on a chicken? How do they fit?
Abandoned brown hen: Like a glove.

You weren't supposed to see that.
Hens feet in pig shit.
And you thought you were starving.

Orange Morn Good !

Bob Boyd said...

Now Meade lays an egg.

tcrosse's joke is pretty good though.

Lay Lady Lay

Quaestor said...

That, of course, is not an actual horizon. Most localities experience low clouds or ground fog that tend to obscure the rising sun. It will be a very rare day in Madison when the disk of the Sun is visible at dawn.

tcrosse said...

tcrosse's joke is pretty good though.

Stolen, appropriately enough, from Billy Crystal. The original concerns a guy with 5 dicks being asked how his pants fit. Credit where it's due.

FullMoon said...

Does the brown hen feel intimidated by Meades words?

Will Meades words discourage other brown hens from taking that path?

tcrosse said...

Meade triggers hens of color.

Bob Boyd said...

Meade's just trying to raise awareness about hen precarity amid all this affluence.

Meade said...

“Now Meade lays an egg.”

No lie!

hawkeyedjb said...

Those smokestacks are firing some serious death rays at the Wisconsin capitol building. I expect no survivors.

FullMoon said...

Photo reminds me of the time the Norks launched an atomic missile at Hawaii...

Whatever happened to the government employee who sent the warning?

narciso said...

interesting two series, Hawaii 5-0, and the rookie tackled the phony missile threat, the first had it as part of a scheme to steel those toolbox codes from the company, that have been employed as ransomware, elsewhere,

Ah, great one! The lake is churned up again, mildly.
