Richard, Your childhood is totally different to mine. I'm fascinated with the various stories from others. Sometimes people think 'living in a small southern town' is the same as living in the country, or is country! It isn't! I was raised in a small town, with lots of farms on the outskirts of town, but I knew nothing about farm life. I often visited the farmers with my parents, and loved going through the barns and playing with the new little piglets, but as far as knowing anything about riding horses or milking cows, I knew none of those things. The closest I came to feeding chickens were those we got at Easter, you know--the little colored chicks. Of course, we were going to raise them, then eat them. That's like saying you're going to eat your pet parakeet!!!!
