I recorded this in my bedroom last night. This is what it sounds like every night.

Imagine what could be done if you people would actually take the time to sit down and work on this problem with us instead of making stupid comments. Mr. McKnight, you owe an apology to everyone in Barbour County. A shotgun is not the answer.
The people problem starts right here with this commission. You have chosen to ignore this problem for the last 10 years … In all this time not one of you has offered anything (to help).
We can fix a cat. We can fix a dog. But we can’t fix stupid. I am asking you to do the right thing. Get involved. Educate yourself. Learn how to end this problem. We are here to help with that.

"Perusing menus across the States reveals eggs in considerable glory: In Birmingham, Alabama, acclaimed local chef/restaurateur Frank Stitt features organic eggs in several of his most popular dishes. Stitt’s love of eggs began in France, where, encouraged by his mentor, Richard Olney, Stitt savored all sorts of appetizers that included local farm eggs. In tribute to Olney (one of America’s most respected chef-authors and an early advocate of fresh local foods, simply prepared and presented), Stitt’s restaurants always include savory egg-based appetizers. Often the eggs come from his own farm, where, he notes, “the freshly laid eggs from Araucana, Rhode Island Red, Dominicker, and Buff Orpington hens are stunningly good."

I scheduled an early meeting on Tuesday (so as not to interfere with my later classes), then found out my first class is canceled. I may use my extra time wisely by heading over to Stitt’s Chez Fonfon for lunch and getting me some of that grilled asparagus with the farm egg vinaigrette.
Oh and also, I think we’re gonna get some chickens.
