”A Christmas shoppers complaint is one of long standing.”

Saw the Chicken Whisperer this morning, a standout in her jammies, surrounded by the flock of feral fowl that inhabits the street in front of her abode...she informed me that she’d been in contact with the SPCA about a sign t’be posted somewhere in Plaza Park informing the public that abandoning pet chickens is against the law...she keeps a running census tally ‘n she told me that the recent holiday celebration had brought at least a 20+% in the chicken population...

she wuz happy to inform me howsumever that the latest batch all seemed capable of flight...I’m reassured that it seems t’be the small things in life that bring the everyday happyness that seems to elude so many at this time of the year...

I think it wuz Dave Barry who said, “Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us celebrates in his own way by going to the mall of his choice.”
