Last ride

A cyclist was hit by a car last week, and about 50 cyclists turned out on a Monday morning to accompany the body to its final resting place. The story has been running in media outlets across the state. Let's hope something good comes out of the loss.

They don't even sound like chickens

When there are over 8,000 in one room.
16,800 hens.
1,500 roosters.
77,000 eggs each week.
I never knew roosters tend to attack women rather than men. This one was coming for me when the farmer caught it. Phew.

Election woes

The race ended in a runoff, the 29-year-old upstart threatening to unseat an incumbent of 19 years for a city council seat.  I managed to be in two places at once and shoot video.  Gold star in my crown, please?

Bravery

Meet Melinda and Baby (he's a boy). These two cats were surprisingly out and about despite having more than 30 people and a photographer in the trailer living room. Talk about tolerance.
