That was not a lollipop that was a tootsiepop

A tootsie-pop is in the lollipop family.

They might scuffle for a few but they'll figure it
out

Hope it's quick and painless. Little one is quite lonely.

@ronott1 I received the sourdough starter, thank you so much. Now I just have to decide if I should get it going or wait till after I get back from my vacation (16-24).

You can wait for years with the dehydrated starter like that!

Have a great vacation!

Man, you're a walking encyclopedia! How in the world have you ever found the time to amass all that familiarity with so many diverse subjects??

Lots of reading and lots of travel.
That's why my friends call me a wealth of useless information. Need a partner on trivia night?
I wasn't the greatest student in elementary school. I spent all my time reading books about animals and plants, exploring the woods and streams and working on the farms.
When I was 3 or 4 I asked my mother to teach me to read, which she did from the Encyclopedia Britannica. We had a fabulous world atlas at home that I read cover to cover, poring over maps.
By the time I started school, I was SOOO bored with the Dick and Jane readers. Probably why I was a poor student, except for a couple subjects.
By the time I was 10, I knew every freshwater fish of North America - from the arctic char and grayling to the yellow bullhead and emerald shiner, at what age they spawn, how many eggs they laid at certain sizes, their habitat, food, etc.. I knew all the mammals of north America, their range, habitat, behavior, reproduction, etc.. I studied birds, mostly from the Mississippi flyway but also animals from most other continents.
I started early and kept with it.
My natural science library now covers a sizeable portion of 2 floors of the house.
For several years, I worked with a foreign exchange program supervising high school age kids from all over the world, including many from the former Soviet Republics. I learned a lot from them.
Since then, I've lived vicariously through my childrens' travels.
I've visited or lived in over 20 countries. My daughter, at 28 has been to more than I and my son, almost as many.
They've both been to several countries in Asia. I've never been to Asia.

The actor that played the mayor of Munchkin land, Mickey Carroll, is from St. Louis. He started dancing at the Fox Theater here when he was 7. I met him and got his autograph at the monument company he owned across West Florissant from two of the region's largest cemeteries.
Calvary (the Catholic one), where Mickey is buried and Bellefontaine take up over 700 acres in North St. Louis and are over 160 years old. They're the burial places of people like William Clark (Lewis and Clark), Dred Scott, Thomas Hart Benton, Tennessee Williams, Sarah Teasdale, James Eads, Tom Dooley, many notable soldiers and officers of the civil war, lots of area dignitaries including the Chouteau family. Members of which founded many of the prominent cities north of New Orleans to St. Louis to Kansas City.

If I put my day old chick with chicks that are 6 days old, is there going to be an issue????

I usually wait till chicks are 2 days old and mobile to combine them with older chicks. Given enough space, food and water, it goes quite well. I'm moving chicks hatching today in with chicks that hatched from 2 days to 2 weeks ago. I don't expect any trouble.
You can usually add young chicks until the elders have started establishing pecking order.

Ooooooooooo a turkey sammich

Why wrong?

Lunch was pulled pork in jerk sauce my son made, on a brownberry sandwich thin. It's about the thickness of pita.

put in a small mirror if it is in a brooder.

That just took me back to my childhood

That is good to know. One more week or work, run extension, a broody hatch, a grave, and a myriad of other things are between now and next Weekend. I am almost there though

I hope it is both relaxing and exciting.

@ChickenCanoeSo, have you or your kids traveled to Yellowstone or the Tetons? I am trying to decide between two pack trips in the Tetons, and to decide on my Yellowstone hike, I am reading A Falcon Guide- Hiking Yellowstone National Park, as I attempt to plan my long awaited and saved for trip.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I've been in the Tetons but not Yellowstone so I can't compare the two. I'm sure this time of year that Grand Teton will be much less crowded than Yellowstone.
We almost went on either a snowmobile or cross country ski trip into Yellowstone in winter. We opted for a snowmobile trip to the Granite Hot Springs in the Gros Ventre Mountain Range. And then a horsedrawn wagon ride into the elk refuge.

I suggest you go to TripAdvisor and ask those questions. I'm sure several people have done it and written about it.

Here's a couple ideas. You probably want to stay away from the family oriented trips since they may be too tame for you.

If you have a good bookstore near you, try looking up a lonely planet guide to Wyoming.
