Not for the Faint of Heart Take II
So the chickens are all in the freezer… it’s coming up on Thanksgiving… which means it’s time for Turkey Killing! I spent the last two days processing a total of 160 some turkeys. Since I worked almost all the parts at some time during the week, I can describe the whole process in some detail. […]
not for the faint of heart to read
Last Friday I had the interesting experience of helping with the poultry operation by… killing things. Well, actually I didn’t kill anything. Since there are so many birds here they hire some butchers to come in and take care of all the birds in one morning (about 100 birds). Those who are faint of heart […]
Something actually happened today besides petting the cat
Ok, for those of you who are getting bored with my long accounts of petting the cats and stuff, maybe starting to think a farmer’s life is pretty slow and boring, I have a real news story today! But first I just want to mention to all my extensive viewing audience that if you ever […]
One Week (Weak?)
Well, I have officially been here for one week! I am still enjoying myself and it is SO BEAUTIFUL in Vermont! The leaves are all orange and green and sumac red… and rivers and creeks all over the place here and rainy but warm… it’s gorgeous. Don’t worry I”m taking pictures, but I can’t seem […]
Vermont, USA!
Wow, ok so here I am in Vermont. Yup, so I decided that since I have about a month until I plan on leaving for Costa Rica (I have plane tickets for Dec 2!), I might as well do something useful. So I’m working for a family farm in Vermont in return for food and […]
Interlude 2: Reevaluation of my worldview
I’ve been reading all these crazy books recently about subatomic particles and quantum physics and magical numbers…. and they have totally changed my worldview. Here are some that I would recommend: Cosmic Banditos — I feel I must give credit to my brother, his suggestion. It’s like Fear and Loathing with a splash of quantum […]
Interlude 1: Solilique on a new beginning
As some of you may have noticed… it’s been a while since I last entried. So what have I been doing this whole time? you may ask. Here’s your long-awaited answer! To begin with, I came home from California in early June. This was an exciting whirlwind less-than-a-week trip across the US. To begin with […]
Living my California Dream?
So the purpose of coming to California was to meet a famous person and to learn to surf while listening to the Beach Boys. Turns out everyone in California isn’t a blond hot surfer boy who listens exclusively to the Beach Boys and parties with the stars… go figure. However, I am making steps towards […]
Somewhat like a real webblog entry
So I’m feelling a little emo right now, warning, so this may in some way resemble normal blogging. Not too much though, you don’t have to go get the paper bag to puke into or anything like that. I think due to too much time in my own head home alone in the apartment unable […]
New Apartment!!!!
Things are looking up in the world of Janet! The camp that I work at has moved locations to another small town called Crestline, where the new camp has better food, more and better trails, and is adjacent to a State Park. Also, in the town of Crestline we found a small apartment into which […]
