Vom Baby zum Abendessen
Eine Woche nach meiner Ankunft auf der Farm bekommen wir Nachwuchs in Form von Hühnern. Sie sind gerade mal zwei Tage alt, gelb und flauschig. Es handelt sich hierbei um Hühner, die nur dazu da sind, gegessen zu werden. Das klingt vielleicht ein bisschen markaber und ist schwer vorstellbar, wenn man sich die Kleinen anguckt, aber diese Rasse nimmt sehr schnell an Gewicht und Größe zu und isst den ganzen Tag, wenn man sie lässt.

He may have been seventy-two, but his age was a ...

... Montreal, I didn't leave until late morning. This was a bit of an error as I had underestimated the travel time by about an hour and a half. Next time I would probably leave at about 9 am instead of 11 as I would still want to miss rush hour but not by much. I was stopping in Kingston and that meant I was very close by the time I got through the island of Montreal.
The trip was fairly uneventful with the exception that I saw many garage sales in the area ...
