Oh! That is so cool RainMom!!! You know, I had a teacher in high school, Eric Canton (yes, the same one from the Huskies) and he was OBSESSED with the JFK conspiracy theories (may have fueled a little fire). We spent two months in school going over the facts of the event and all the the mysterious deaths of witnesses...very creepy. He loved that I still have a newspaper from that very day and day after. I would stay in after class was over and we would just talk about all the things that didn't add up (kind of like the Boston bombing) I should probably have it preserved in some way. It's not from a big publication, just the Tacoma News Tribune that my Grandfather gave to me a long time ago.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I was employed by Montgomery Ward in the Glen Burnie (Md.) Mall and at the time of the shooting, I was taking my lunch in the cafe, watching the motorcade proceed through Dallas. I was eating a club sandwich at the time.
I heard what I thought was shots, look up at the small tv the company had set up in the cafe. This is what I remember. Drifting white smoke from near the "hill" and I saw the motorcycle cop that had the position on the right front fender of Kennedy's car lay his bike down, draw his weapon and start towards the hill. I even remember he was right handed.
They replayed that clip, cut it short and I've never seen it again.
But to believe there was a conspiracy you would have to believe that as many as 15 to 25 people had to be involved and kept their mouths shut all this time, no diary, no notes, no tapes.
You should check out how the witnesses ended up dying, some from horrific "accidents", mostly "suicide"
Oh! MikeyB, I re-read this, the smoke/shot on the grassy knoll wasn't in the official story and "Oswald was in the book depository building" according to the officials - the lone gunman, remember? So you are witness to a conspiracy right there!

It's good to see you here Renee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yesterday, most of Coastal's chicks looked like they were at least a week or two old. Some could have been 3. I wonder if, because the store is fairly new, that they bought too many for what they could sell. All the blue-koted babies. So sad. I had actually sent a picture of them to Jessica because I thought they had gotten into the dyed-chick biz and I was ticked off about it. Usually I will go and watch the chicks for a while. I left right away because I was so upset about the little purple chicks. Jess found out it was blue-kote, which made me feel better knowing they didn't buy dyed chicks, but still sad they have too many chicks for too long in those bins.
I'm a skimmer. Actually, I'm not on here much - but I think I saw a comment that someone thought the chicks that were called "Araucana" from Coastal were true. They're not. But, that is standard for hatchery birds.
ETA: All of my birds, except Penny, are mixed breeds or hatchery birds (a.k.a. mutts). I love my mutt chickens.They're the best!
This is when you either walk away, or go postal & call animal care officials, (animal welfare)
