This is true but it was hilarious. Unfortunately he was frying a lot of harmless moths and midgets that provide food for other creatures. I have lots of bats and barn swallows but the skeeter population has been down because it’s been so dry.

Even if moths and midges are getting fried you should be alright, maybe won't make you popular with those that wanted to eat them.
Midgets though.. someone will be looking for them eventually. Not a lot of meat on most midgets either.

As far as the purple lazyboy in the front yard, that reminds me of a short story. Guy I worked with used to work for Sears and some guy came in and wanted enough pastel purple paint to do his whole two story house.
He had some beef with the city or county and it was his way of being a pain in the ass to them. They couldn't make him change it and its been that way almost twenty years. It's in a nicer area of a large city on a heavily travelled road that's getting a lot of new development within a few blocks of it.

You have more wild game in the freezer than you do beef.

right on!!! back in the early '90s when all the space that I had was a mobile home I put a small chest freezer in the master bedroom with me, the compressor kicking on never woke or bothered me. I hunted plenty but did an ungodly amount of fishing, if I wasn't sleeping or working I was fishing, and lots of times when I shoulda been sleeping I was fishing.

Everyone thinks having a few hens is alrite to get fresh eggs in the morning and have a bucolic breakfast every day. But sometimes reality is not what you expect. I've got those hens, but all their eggs i give them away cos i don't like eggs. Anyway, there are more people here who does, only it's me who cares for the chickens.
Now, there's Tejero too, a cock that cock-a-dooddles a lot, anytime, several times, as soon as anyones approaches the enclosure, he starts flapping his wings, sharpens the beak against the ground and then attacks.
In order to prevent these attacks, i either hit him with the plastic bucket or throw a cloth on top of him. As i get there several times a day, you can imagine the daily fight. The fuckin idiot doesn't understand that i'm just there to feed him, and that i could kill him so easily with a neck twist. I respect him cos he's so brave defending the hens, but still he's a fuckin idiot.
And this is getting worse and worse, for he's a traitor too. Sometimes he'll not attack straight away, but wait until i turn my back to him. But i'm too fast for the bastard and hit him with the bucket just before he reaches me. It only gets him angrier, i only hit him harder or i put the bucket over his head.
Then, when i leave he cockadooddles like he won. That last bit gets on my nerves, probably he's telling the hens that i left because he won the fight or something, hens are stupid and believe this fuckin bullshitter pimp, cos they still worship him.
I think a proper farmer would just kill the fucker, make soup stock and put a calmer one instead, but i believe in karma and karma coud hit back. I won't put a photo yet because oversensible people might get biased. So, would you...
A.- Offer him a quick departure from this world
B.- Carry on with the daily charade
C.- Release him into the wild
