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 almost feel bad for our rooster, Hei Hei. Even though he continually sneak attacks me, I think his bully behavior is driven by the fact that he gets bullied by pretty much every animal on the farm, including our sheep, Maple.
I deal with Hei Hei by making sure I have cat-like reflexes supported by the nutrient dense fermented cod liver/butter oil at Green Pasture. Time to ditch your generic fish oil. Use promo code “ALISON” at check out for 10% off. https://www.greenpasture.org/
Northwest Florida feels so much like eastern Washington today. We have multiple wildfires in the area and a red flag warning. The sun is so hazy and orange just like I remember on those late summer days when we lived north of Spokane. The air quality is poor and it smells like campfire. I had a friend tell me she sold off part of her beef herd early because the drought has made it unaffordable to keep feeding cows as the grass isn’t growing. There is no immediate danger to us, though the conditions make it risky for anyone who lives in a rural area.
One of our year-old Nigerian dwarf does got her head stuck in the fence and I had to help free her. She’s small enough to get her head through but the horns catch the fencing when she tries to walk away. This has happened enough to me that I will be removing horns when goats are born. The other option is re-fencing our entire property which costs way too much money. It can be quite serious when a goat gets their head stuck in a fence during Florida summers. A friend came home one day to find a dead goat like this. If you’re in this situation, turn their head sideways and even their body if you have to do so - then push their head back. They don’t like it but it’s better than death. If you need more strength to rescue goats, don’t forget to ditch that generic fish oil for one that actually has value - the fermented cod liver/butter at Green Pasture!

Americans will be screaming about this in about 2028. After it's done, and when it can be played up in someone's political campaign.
