NOW HERE IS ONE THING I BET YOU CAMERA PEOPLE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT...... -- AND JUST TO MAKE THIS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE....... GIRL HORSES ( MARES--- TAXI.... ) ARE USUALLY MUCH CLEANER TO TAKE CARE OF IN THEIR STALLS. BECAUSE OF THE ARRAINGEMENT OF THEIR PLUMBING PARTS... REGARDLESS OF HOW TEH MARE STANDS, HER FLUID PRODUCTION WILL BE AGAINST A WALL... NOT TRUE WITH BOY HORSES.... MAYBE THE BOYS COULD... WITH EXTRA EFFORT MANAGE TO PLACE ALL FLUIDS NEXT TO A WALL.... BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE.... THEY DON'T... THEY PUT IT IN TH EMIDDLE... THEN TRACK IT ALL AROUND. SO FAR TAXI SEEMS TO PUT ALL PRODUCTION IN THE CORNER CLOSEST TO THE CAMERA. NICE HORSEY !!!
I JUST THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTNAD WHAT YOU WERE OBSERVING....
I DID HAVE ONE STORY FROM THE WORLD OF "THE ARTS" WHIcH IS VERY CLOSELY RELATED TO that topic. ..... I HAD A CALL FOR I HUGE HORSE AND A DONKEY --- (MUST HAVE BEEN A STAGE PERFORMANCE OF DONQUIXOTE..???..) ON STAGE IN BOSTON.... THEY PROMISED ME STREET PARKING-- BECAUSE ALL I HAD TO TRANSPORT THAT HUGE HORSE WAS MY MOVING VAN SIZE HORSE TRAILER.. WHICH I MANAGED TO PARALELL PARK IN BOSTON TRAFFIC.... BUT THAT IS NOT THE STORY....-- A HORSE FRIEND LINDA. WAS WITH ME.... SO WE LINED UP BACK STAGE. SHE AND HORSE ON ONE SIDE... AND ME WITH THE DONKEY ON THE OTHER.... THE HORSE WAS A LOVELY OLD GUY--- DUKE--- ONCE BEEN LEAD TEAM OF WALT DISNEY-- IN FLORIDA-- HE WAS USED TO EVERYTHING...-- I WAS MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE FLOOR OF THE STAGE.. DUKE WEIGHED 2000 POUNDS And each foot was about. 36 square inches... HOWEVER.. HE STOOD QUIET FOR MOST OF THE TIME...OF COURSE TEH DONKEY WAS MOTIONLESS... AT ONE P[OINT A GUN WENT OFF( ONSTAGE) ANE THER WAS A VERY SLIGHT COMMOTION WHICH I ASSUMED WAS TEH GUNSHOT... ALL THO I WAS AMAZED BECAUSE DUKE WAS SO STEADY. TEH SHOW WENT ON WITH OUT A HITCH... THEN AFTERWARDS............. I FOUND OUT THAT DUKE HAD TO PEE... AND DID...NOW THINK. 2000 POUND ANINAM -- GALLONS OF PEE....... LUCKILY BACKSTAGE..... EXCEPT ALL LINDA HAD TO ABSORB WHAT SHE SAID WAS 5 GALLONS OF URINE.. WAS MY BRAND NEW LLBEAN JACKET WHICH SHE SACRIFICED TO THE CAUSE. ------( WASHED AND AIRED, I WORE IT FOR YEARS....).
TEH REST OF TEH STORY IS THAT MY CAREFULLY PARALELL PARKED TRUCK AND TRAILER GOT ME 3 PARKING TICKETS AT ONCE.
SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE ALOT OF STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS EXCREMENT. AS MY COMPANY "ANIMAL EPISODES" MADE A FORTUNE WITH TOILET PAPER , A BBQ FLY UMBRELLA. AND MICE..... AS WE MADE ALL TEH COMMERCIALS REGARDING WHAT WE NOW KNOW AS--- THE MOUSE---- I DID DOZENS OF PHOTOS WITH THE MOUSE UNDEER THE BBQ STRAINER. WHERE I WOULD LIFT THE STRAINER- THEY WOULD TKE TEH SHOT OF THE MOUSE. -- I WOULD PUT THE MOUSE BACK IN THE SHOEBOX...BLOT TEH POO AND COLLECT A CHECK FOR $150 TO $500-- I GOT THE MICE FOR 25 CENTS AT THE PET STORE... AND TURNED THEM LOOSE ON THE FARM.. THE ONLY ANIMAL I EVER HARMED IN ANY WAY WAS TEH BOX OF COCKROACHES MY SON IN LAW GOT FOM A RESTAURANT IN GLOUCESTER-- I USED THEM IN THE MOVIE "NEXT KARATE KID". AND I DID NOT WANT OT HAAVE THEM IN MY CAR AGAIN... SO I SET FIRE TO THE BOX IN TH E PARKING LOT..-- EVERYBODY ELSE. "WENT HOME"
THAT IS. HOW. I FOUND OUT A RAT- LET LOOSE 1/2 MILE FROM MY BARN, MADE IT BACK TO THE BARN IN 24 HOURS-- FOR SOME REASON THE RAT HAD TO HAVE A WHITE "X" ON IT'S BACK FOR THE PHOTO. -- DONE WITH SHOE POLISH... AND NEXT DAY IT WAS BACK IN MY BARN WHERE I HAD TRAPPED IT.

NEXT LESSON-- FOR THOSE OF. YOU. ABOUT TO START RAISING CHICKENS QND HAVING EGGS. THERE ARE HATCHERIES LL OVER THE MID USA-- AND YOU PICK TEH COLORS AND TYPES YOU LIKE AND GET EITHER----STRAIGHT RUNS-- BOY AND CIRLS CHICKENS MIXOED... OR HENS ( PREFERRED) -THEY ARE HTCHED THRUOUT TH ECHICKEN INDUSTRY ... ON MONDAYS.. SEXED , BOXED AND MAILED ON TUESDAY AND WILL BE IN YOUR POSTAL OFFICE 6 AM WEDNESDAY.. AND READY TO BE PLACED ON CARDBOARD. SPRINKLED WITH CHICK STARTER TIL THEY LEARN WHAT TO EAT... AND ABELL JAR UPSIDE DOWN WITH A VERY SKINNY WATER SUPPLY ( SO THEY DON'T DROWN IN IT) ---HEAT LAMP GIVING THEM THE CHOIC E OF UNDEER IT OR AWAY FROM IT. MONTHS LATER YOU MIGHT GET A FEW EGGS... NOT VERY COMPLICTED.. AN MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN HAVING A RABBIT IN THE YARD.
P.S.. AVOID STRAIGHT RUN--- THEM IS 1/2 ROOSTERS...
-----
MAIL CALL--- SOMEONE SENT--- "I DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE A CHICKEN CAN CROSS THE ROAD WITHOUT HAVING THIER MOTIVES QUESTIONED."
BOY AIN'T THT TRUE.... WHEN I TYPED THAT SETTING FIRE TO THE COCK ROACHES I THIUGHT... I SHOULD NOT B E SAYING THIS... SOMEONE WILL OBJECT...-- WELL IF YOU DO ... I HOPE YOU INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS SO I. CAN SEND YOU A BOXFUL OF COCKROACHES FOR YOU TO NURISH...
