09:00 – Barbara is having a lie-in this morning. Ordinarily, she’s up by 7:30 on weekends but this morning she’s sleeping in. She needs the rest.
I’m rethinking where we should relocate. The paper has been running a series on industrial chicken farming and the stench it creates. North Carolina is in the top three states in the US in chicken and turkey production, and much of that goes on in the areas we’d been considering. Surry County and Wilkes County, two areas we’d been considering, are very high on the list. The chicken factories in Wilkes County alone produce close to 100 million chickens a year. That’s not something we’d want to live close to.
More kit stuff today.
10:30 – Barbara just cut my hair. As usual after a haircut, I’m feeling very weak. I don’t think I’ll be going out and destroying any pagan temples today, or slaying anything with the jawbone of an ass.
