Where Have All the Chickens Gone?
Saturday I went into town in the vain hope that some mail had arrived - namely the books that should have been here on Thursday. Sadly, the post office was deserted and no mail was in my box. So I headed over to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for dinner. The shelves were quite bare. A sign on the empty chicken cooler read: "Due to bad weather and road closures we will not have any chicken until Monday."Ah, yes. Life in the big city.
