re: #44 ckkatz

The Post Office has brought out some really cool Forever stamps.

In the past year I have picked up sheets of Star Trek stamps, Halloween Stamps, 2 flavors of Hanukah stamps, Cherry Blossom Festival stamps, Solar Eclipse Stamps that change color, and Dragon stamps. The dragon stamps look like some sort of landscape art until you look closely and realize that there is a dragon in there.

One of my neighbors has 3 German Shepherds so I picked up a sheet of the “Military Working Dogs” and gave it to them recently.

Two other neighbors have started keeping small groups of chickens, but I have not yet seen any chicken stamps.

Apparently though, keeping chickens is an ‘in’ thing locally right now. I did mention to the neighbors my mother’s experience with chickens from her aunt’s farm outside of St Joseph Missouri. That chickens are either pets or dinner. It is a bad idea to try to make them both.

A few people thought it a bit unsettling that my brother could name who dinner had been. (My niece named all the chickens. And early on my brother had both layers and meat chickens. It’s been all layers for quite a few years now.)
