Wow. That's a nice one.

rcocean বলেছেন...

Yeah, that a cool sunset.

Wince বলেছেন...

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

tcrosse বলেছেন...

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

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

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

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

A stick.

Meade বলেছেন...

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

Meade বলেছেন...

Civility pig manure.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

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

Meade বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

"Chic"
Pardon my French again.

Meade বলেছেন...

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

tcrosse বলেছেন...

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

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

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,

Meade বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

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

Meade বলেছেন...

"Crystal Corner"

Ground zero for hen abandonment.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

Now I'm getting depressed.

Meade বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

Now Meade lays an egg.

tcrosse's joke is pretty good though.

Char Char Binks, Esq. বলেছেন...

Lay Lady Lay

Quaestor বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

Does the brown hen feel intimidated by Meades words?

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

tcrosse বলেছেন...

Meade triggers hens of color.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

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

Meade বলেছেন...

“Now Meade lays an egg.”

No lie!

hawkeyedjb বলেছেন...

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

FullMoon বলেছেন...

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 বলেছেন...

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.
