Caje's thought for the day

[sophie]

I hated to read this. I don't like having to shell out additional money for eggs. Your posts normally crack me up, but this one put me in a fowl mood. If all of this is a hoax, the yolk's on us, and I'd like to wring the neck of whoever is trying to pullet.

Ha, Ha, Ha, now that's real funny right there. Wisely thought out.

Why are eggs $3.25 per dozen in Canada when the same dozen of Great Value eggs are $6.50 per dozen here in Amarillo, Texas?
That was shown on the National News and makes no sense to me.

To control a populus you have to get them focused on other things that are not really critical.

Ah, maybe like games at the Circus Maximus.

Wife bought a dozen large eggs at H-E-B yesterday for $4.45.

Regarding transmission of flu in wild birds, I wonder if vultures and hawks are immune?

I worked my way thru college working as a delivery boy in a chicken restaurant. When we weren't driving we worked in the back room cleaning and breading the chicken parts.

We received them in big boxes of 60 head. It was a 4-piece cut, meaning we got 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 thighs and 2 legs from each bird. Since they were already cut, we did not know which pieces caME FROM THE SAME BIRD.

We rarely encountered a case that did not have 1 or more "tumors" on 1 or more wings. We were instructed to cut out the lumps and go sell them.

I still don't know whether eating cancer can GIVE you cancer.

Eggs are at $6 a dozen!

Consider yourself lucky. I talked to a person from Washington state the other day who said that eggs were almost $10 a dozen at their local store.

We've always had chickens. Never thought I'd be grateful to have a small flock. I suppose I just took having fresh eggs for granted.

Wonder how this would fly?
The ducks and geese that are the main carriers of bird flu migrate into the US from Canada. Have the president order Canada to keep all of the ducks and geese in Canada. Sorry Caj, no more duck hunting for you!

If Da Gubmnt can order water to flow over the mountains to Southern California, it can order ducks, geese, deer and flies to stop at the Canadian border.

I only got to Waffle House to watch the fights. Your coffee is on sale at Rouse's.

Living near Buffalo NY, home of the chicken wing I hope I'm not forced to it rooster wings instead. As a preemptive move I think we should bomb the Canary Islands

FWIW, a big cat sanctuary in western WA lost half their cats to what was revealed to be bird flu from raw meat.

I think it's best if we just try not to think about it for a while. And what part of the chicken is the finger?

Most of the larger chicken fingers are next to the chicken thumb

Maybe the guvment should shift it's focus on a southern border wall to a northern border VERY tall chicken wire fence?

I thought that was just the 51st state border now??

Or constantly fly along the border with huge nets to grab the flying ducks and geese out of the air space?

 

[biku324]

You'd need contractors.

I don't mind the surcharge as my local Waffle House provides good food and a cutman ringside.

Funny thing about the Canadian border and birds. In Buffalo there is an outdated 3 lane bridge into Fort Erie Ontario. It's the Peace Bridge over the Niagara River. Right at the mouth of the river where it comes out of Lake Erie. It's 2 lanes in one direction and 1 lane in the other. Indicator lights tell you which lanes. Anytime you drive by you'll see traffic backed up the length of the bridge. It was supposed to be replaced with a SUPER BRIDGE. A giant 4 lane suspension bridge that was a work of art. The old bridge was going to be left in place for commercial truck traffic….. Well it turns out there is a bird that flies at the exact height of the proposed bridge. The bridge that had a design competition to pick the winner. The bridge that cost millions in engineering fees and environmental studies. Apparently said bird wouldn't be able to fly below or above the bridge. Oh no, it would surely fly squarely into the bridge meeting its demise. So NO bridge was ever built. US and Canada agreed on bridge. Funding was secured. But NO bridge. Because of a bird.

I was listening to a Mike Rowe podcast, and his guest explained why there is no bird-flu vaccine. Apparently, chicken growers cannot export "vaccinated" chickens as foreign countries will not accept them. Therefore--no vaccine. So the method of control remains--if one bird is infected, kill the entire flock. Imagine if the government had adopted that same lame action when covid broke out. One person in a city comes down with covid, kill everyone. It just makes common sense.

Guaranteed, the birds would have flown around it.
