Mike - I don't even think I can explain it. There are no words for the rage. OK - it's not that bad! We have a lovely rooster who walks around our house and crows all day. He loves to stand right at our open door - and belch his little sinner heart out. I think he's pretty puffed up about his status around here...little does he know that we Canadian's deal with things a little differently. There might be an unfortunate accident by the time we leave!
ooh, he looks delicious! There must be a good rooster stew recipe that will help him on his way...?
