    Ah yes, I once lived in the country of Sacramento. I had two acres in North Highlands. The part of Oklahoma I live in looks like a giant San Joaquin Valley. Less than 40 miles to the East my son lives in the hills near the town of Choctaw. He is the one who has 40 Rhode Island Reds and Marans...
