This is a long interview. I think it's the longest I have ever done outside of my old life in TV news. We covered war, NATO, Putin, the USA, the media, and the road to peace. I know I have said this before, but I am still very much a beginner in this topic and I know many of you will have contrary opinions to Stan. That said, if you set aside your bias, and listen to him discuss his personal views of his country, his President and Russian identity, I guarantee you will learn something in this. I did. I approached this as I do the others: I am trying to understand how someone thinks, not necessarily just what they think. We got to almost all of your questions - thank you for submitting, they were very helpful in balancing some of this discussion. As always, please give me your feedback in the comments. It helps me learn as well.
I discovered that our mini Nubian goat, Sundae, had a tick on her teat while milking her yesterday. Thankfully Lynn had to pull a few off himself in combat with unique tricks and we successfully recovered the tick, head intact.

Carla our Easter Egger is the most patient chicken ever, and the best kid chicken I’ve ever seen!
Remember how I survived that one day of farming in frigid Florida winter?
I don’t either.
The cold front, or “winter” as it’s called everywhere else, is over for now in Florida. After temperatures dropping in the 20s, we are back to high 70s & the beach. I still remember numb fingers while milking goats, wearing 4 layers to feed chickens, and seeing my breath. My sun-hat is off to those farming up north, just beginning to hunker down in the cold. One of the reasons we moved back to Florida from Washington state is that we like living in the country and raising animals, but I grew up in Florida so my tolerance for cold is low. Dealing with frozen water troughs, bursting pipes, numb toes - it’s just not my forté. My insulated overalls are back in the closet, waiting for a few more opportunities to work before spring break.
Many of you may already know this but Nate the Lawyer is in surgery right now to remove a brain tumor he never knew he had until this past weekend. Please hold him and his medical team in your prayers. There is an effort underway to get his YouTube channel to 1 Million subscribers before he wakes up. If you’d like to sub, here is his link. I met Nate when he only had 40,000 subs back during the crosshairs of YouTube censorship. I have always found him to be kind and genuine in a world that often rewards neither.
