Our Walgreens has that sign as well, unfortunately "shots" is covered behind some other signs so it reads "Shingles Available Everyday"...I crack up everytime I drive by it.

Well, I am not in jail...

After for sitting for 2 hours and listening to assault, drunk driving, shop lifting and drug dealing cases, the judge finally called me up. He read the file, looked up and said, "This is about a chicken?". After the laughter died down, we proceeded.

I was able to ask the ordinance officer how many chickens he saw and he admitted that he didn't see any. But he did have pictures taken by the neighbor that he gave to the judge. Judge Hammer then let me see the photos. They could have been taken anywhere. Just saying...

Anyway, the judge says that there is a fine involved and I would need to "take care of the problem" in the future bcause city ordinance says no to chickens. So I politely said that local ordinance does not supercede state law. I cited MCL 286.473. I said that I had case law and Court of Appeals ruling that chickens are indeed legal to have. Of the stack of documents I had with me, I gave him the MSUE summary document and said that I had a lot more documentation to support my case. So he says that I need to talk to the city attorney and discuss it with him. Then he says that he would have no problem living next to me or anyone who had chickens. He went on to say that several people in Garden City have chickens, ducks, bees and even one guy who has a grand-fathered donkey.

I think the judge seemed pretty reasonable about the whole thing. I will meet with the city attorney for a pre-trial conference on June 26 at 10:00 am. So I can gather even more supporting documentation to present.

In case anyone is interested, the case number is 12GC1470 OM.

You can laugh, but I am serious.

Shamrock 4 - you write beautifully. Do you homeschool?

Thank you, and yes, I homeschool.

What color is she?
