Video by the farm kid. Mae it to my mom and dad’s for brother-in-law’s birthday dinner. Sorry to anyone slogging thru my Stories on instagram, I was videoing all my fave scenery spots since for once I wasn’t driving. Eclectic soundtrack and blurry rainy central ny… (at Melrose, New York)

After all my hand-wringing and angst, the DHL delivery guy showed up just as we were loading up to bring the cat over to mother-out-law’s. 

The dress is… a little loose, which is better than a little tight. Very well-made! I tried it on for like ten seconds and then had to run out the door, but at least it can spend this week on a hanger getting the creases out.

The soundtrack for the first bit of the drive was a bunch of playlists Dude downloaded from YouTube, the funk/soul soundtracks to anonymous ost-to-time Japanese movies of the 1960s and 70s. But then we got talking about my Playlist For Chicken Murders and so we worked on that for a while. Dude is a treasure trove of one-hit wonders of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, and has expanded the list greatly. Now it’s like ten hours long so I gotta start whittling it back down. 

Oh, we’d made it 15 minutes from home and almost to the highway before Dude was like, “So we’re going to Canada later this week, did you bring your passport?” and I was like wait shit no and we turned back. Which is a damn sight better than getting in the car to go north and realizing it *then*. Ugh. 

I spent half the ride taking Instagram Stories videos of the scenery I always admire while driving that I of course cannot document while driving. Of course my fucking phone autofocuses constantly at all times so it’s all useless footage, but there’s an aesthetic to it. And for most of it the music is kind of entertaining. 

I was completely unsuccessful at capturing any tiny fraction of the majesty of the point on the Mohawk River where Big Nose and Little Nose come nearly together, and the river, the train tracks, the Thruway, and a county highway all thread their way through the gap. (If you watch them, those are the ones where Jay-Z’s Brush Your Shoulders Off is playing in the background.)

too big! i ordered to fit my bust measurement and it’s too big! well I’ll fix it, it’s not terrible.

THAT PIG IS BEING KIDNAPPED

STREET SMARTS

it’s too long for me to tell it here but my sister has a great / terrible story of once having to drive a pig through the downtown of a small Illinois town in the open back of a pickup truck with the only thing keeping it from jumping out being her judicious slamming-on of the brakes to knock it over. it’s one of those shaggy dog stories that’s best told over drinks, and has some really horrifying plot twists, but that’s the bulk of it, and the intro that her boss was like “it’ll be fine don’t worry” and spoiler alert, with pigs, it’s NEVER FINE. Also the pig in the photo is probably going to eat that taillight and has certainly already shat everywhere, so RIP your car, buddy.

yay congrats! sometimes the universe just squeaks by

Now this better not be all my good luck for the whole week!!!! This is First Chicken Processing Of The Season week, I need more good luck than that!

I’ll hope it’s the beginning of being on a roll, rather than my whole allotment of Things Working Out.

In signs pointing toward it being the former, I just spent two hours washing eggs to make it easier to clean the dual purpose egg washing / evisceration room (we should just call it the Chicken Poop Room but then that’s kind of a descriptor for most of this farm, which is good given that it’s our main source of fertilizer, except the parts of the farm that are full of pig poop additionally or instead) and that went smoothly and I went and looked in the ice machine and it’s full!!! which means not broken!!! which is a damn sight better than some Disaster Slaughters we’ve had. 

Nothing worse than peering into that ice machine and finding an echoing chamber full of drips and gurgles and no ice.

(Not like we can’t go buy ice at Stewart’s but it’s like $100. In fabulous coincidence, one of the farm’s vegetable share members is a former air conditioner and ice machine repairman, who works for vegetables and beer and is delighted to be of use. That ice machine shouldn’t work but boy, does it. Sometimes.)

Mainstream media tends to ignore or not highlight these stories if the victims are POC, minorities or poor.
