Good Question ??? Would I look really dumb if I said Brown and Black ones ?? Genaro tells me the white chickens have bones that are too brittle and they get hurt to easily ???? I have no idea what breed they are . I'll ask him .I know we got one little gay rooster running around here and if I catch him ,I'll ring his neck . He starts crowing at 2:30 each morning . All the other chickens hate him. So do I !!
I call him "Gay Gordy" just to piss him off .
Because I just feel its what I need to do .Haiti needs the help and I have the ability to just maybe help them .Besides ,all this heat down here and in Haiti will do my waist line good !
????? Turns out the hotdogs down here are in a clear plastic casing that must be cut off first !!! Live and learn . The dogs did not seem to mine the plastic taste at all .
I think I better just stay with Brown eggs . I am not sure how the locals would handle seeing green eggs . I am hoping to bring in the first 200 chicks this next week .
Serious time .... I was talking with Genaro today and he was talking to me about the way the locals pollute their own beautiful water and beaches down here . Its a constant battle and each morning I have the men rake the beach area of plastic bags , flip flops. Plastic coke bottles and so forth . Genaro is a amazing man and knows his own people are the cause of their own problems when the tourist do not come because of trash .The local boat comes by twice a week to haul away the trash to the dump from my place .
I can't tell you how many septic systems I have designed so the sewer is not dumped in the seas .
I'm trying to save the coral reef out front of the property but it may be too late . Only time will tell .
You would think an area that depends on tourist dollars to survive would realize that they are causing there own problems .
Its almost funny because locals stop by and tell me how beautiful my place is because it is so clean ...... They could easily do the same thing ..Go figure .
(What kind of beer do you have down there? Much of a variety to choose from?)
Good thing your wife wanted to do the trial run on the hot dogs. I'm sure the locals would have gotten a good laugh had you served up the 'black' dogs Saturday night but it's better you won't make that silly gringo impression on your first cookout for the neighbors.
Sounds like you are indeed doing it right ...working with them and not putting yourself on a pedestal above them. I'm sure they all appreciate that. No one likes to be talked down to or looked down on.
I've told some friends of your place and what all you are doing down there. Everyone agrees you are surely doing it right and we are all a wee bit jealous, or a whole lot jealous
How about some pics of the cookout Saturday. We are living vicariously through you!
Hey Al...remember your KT-47 (or whatever) thread that was like 842 pages long and got deleted six times?
You might want to break up your Panama threads in the future just to be sure you don't lose another long thread.
