Does Arizona get snow?

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. I take that back, I think it snows in Flagstaff... but definitely not in the southern parts of the state.

Agreed, Delaware and Maryland is still considered north to me!

I think my southie line goes somewhere through central VA!

Well where I am at in Maryland we are south of the Mason Dixon line so we are considered southern as well. Granted I am bordering VA and WV. Can be in both of those states in 10-15 from my front door

Last night we watched the news because they were doing a story on a dangerous bus stop in our town. It's on an S curve road where they never maintain tall grass and the cars speed by super close to the kids. Just as they're talking about how the cars are whizzing by, I notice a familiar Jeep racing by in the shot. So we back up... that looks like my husband's jeep. Wait a minute, that looks like my husband's wedding ring. Yep, that's my husband. Whoops.

And just for the record he doesn't speed by when during bus stop time, but the county really should maintain that area so the kids don't have to basically stand IN the road.

No it's treated lumber. We just designed it that way. Thought it would look cool and that was also if a board goes bad it's easy to repair.

Well I just reported that fighting cock to the Sheriff's Department. It's not technically breaking a crime due to the wording of the ad. It doesn't technically say fighting cock. However it was a direct enough reference that it has been passed on to the agricultural Department of the Sheriff's Office and an investigation has been opened.

At first there detective was pretty dismissive. He said "it's not illegal to sell the rooster and any rooster could be a fighter, you know that right?" I rebuttal with "I'm aware any rooster can fight, just like any dog can fight. If somebody reported a dog fighter to you, would you just tell them it's not illegal to sell a dog? I said if you look at the ad you'll understand what I'm saying, this is not just a rooster that could get in a fight. It's a roster for fighting."

When he read the ad his whole tone changed. He had to do some research to find out if it was technically a crime, and called me back.

When he called back he informed me it was worded smooth enough they could not take any action. However it was a good enough references that the AG department was highly interested. If they can find a pattern of sales, they can have probable cause, and then take action.

Then we proceeded to have a 10 minutes conversation about chickens. He did ask how one could spot fighting chick ads vs legitimate cock ads. Other than that though, he was genuinely interested in the breed. He had never seen an Asiatic fowl. His first question was "Is this an old breed? Looks ancient." He asked about "those fuzzy chickens with feathered feet" & "what kind would I raise for my own meat?" Then he thanked me and said he'd wanted to raise chickens for a while now. One of the better conversations I've ever had with a detective.
