Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep.

Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replies, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time-wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past 3. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

Okay, I got the true scoop from my friend about Garth Brooks as a neighbor.

Apparently he also owns a home in or near Edmond in which his father lives. When he bought it and the quarter of a mile or so property it came with, he built an 8 foot chain link fence around it and enclosed my friend's parents' home (which had up to this point sat completely in the open) on three sides, which apparently made for quite an eyesore. He was then going to put a four foot barbed wire extension on the top. They asked him not to. Can't blame them... who wants to live in a prison yard? He didn't listen and started to do it anyway. They sued and won.

Since that time he and his father have been otherwise fine. Fence is still there, though.

And that's the extent of his bad neighborliness.

Thanks, Hen. Yeah, shouldn't messin' with people's idols.

Funny thing is this whole thing happened around the time he released his album No Fences. Maybe that's where he got the idea for the album.

Or maybe the album gave him the idea for the fence.

I think you and me agree about stuff more than we perhaps at first thought.

Well, apparently not always, but I get the point.

I do think there is such a thing as kindly consideration for your neighbors, though, which is all I was commenting on. I think most of us consider our neighbors when we do things to our property, especially when our actions affect them.

Call the State Veterinarian at 405-522-6131 and see what they think. I am pretty certain that Marek's Disease is a reportable disease, but many of its symptoms are similiar to other things that are not majorly severe health problems.

Beth,

It could be a riboflavin deficiency, botullism, vitamin e deficiency, or thamine deficiency. It's hard to tell unless you have testing performed. Just keep it separated and either cull if you don't want to mess with it or try feeding it vitamins. I think nnbreeder has a formula for a flush in case it's botullism.

hmm...
Now that I am calmer.....Cochrin roo (i think) and his band of
brothers and sisters free range but roost at night. Last night they didnt come
home. Found all 5 of them in the run out with the horse. Brought them back home
and noticed one fell over funny but thought he was cold and miss handled by me as I
had 4 at one time. Today that one could not move his leg at all. Maybe he was stepped
on by the horse ? Very muddy and dark, this could have happened. Later went to internet
to look this up and ran across a thread that had Marek's Disease in it. I love these stupid
chickens and do not want anything bad here... Annabell wants to grow up to be a chicken farmer
for Petes sake...
So here it is.. Stupid chicken is young, limp leg, but no pain. Eatting did take ONE drink of some
warm water with sugar...
