Here is an angle I haven’t seen anywhere else. Pfizer (sponsor of the Oscars) has a new treatment for exactly the condition that got so much attention after Chris Rock’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith - prompting Will Smith to slap him and scream threats. Do you think it was staged or real? And what about this guy’s take: coincidence, conspiracy or obvious? For me, the speculation around this once again reinforces my answer on a podcast yesterday, in which the host asked why I want to homestead: because I have come to realize that if I want to know something for sure, I need to see it outside my window and grow it with my own hands. “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.” (Shakespeare)
This was so fun to watch. We had lots of rain overnight and the rodeo arena was soaked today. Most of the kids loved it, though a few weren’t a huge fan of being covered in mud. Thankfully there are many hoses at the rodeo grounds!
I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, it’s chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
