One of the daily chores that Steve performs is counting the feed in his 4 giant feed bins. He could do it by having digital scales installed under the bins, but that costs $2,000 per bin - money that could be used for many other things, from a tractor to college tuition. So, instead, every afternoon, he takes a home-made 12 foot shovel, climbs to the top of each bin to level off the feed in each one using the shovel, and then measures the amount remaining. It's a necessary task, to stay current and order new feed to be delivered just-in-time by Tyson, so that the chickens never go hungry. Like every business - no matter how complicated - the formula for success boils down to some basics. For chicken farming, the basics are: 1. you keep them dry and safe, 2. you water and feed them regularly, and 3. you collect all of the eggs you can while breaking as few as possible doing it. As his Tyson manager first dryly told him "It ain't rocket science," but it still involves 100 little details every week, that separate the best farmers from the rest.

The ferals are lined up on the sunny walkway. Only Eagle has looked round to see what I'm doing.

Of course, just before the camera turned on, Jack counted all the numbers on his own.

The author of the Lemony Snicket books was doing a signing at a nearby B&N, so we went to see the chaos.

Schuyler is watching Count Orlaf-or-whatever-his-name-is read a book while Miserable Elizabeth plinks on a harp. He was a very good Count O.

late again. my schedule is so off. i've barely drank anything since before friday's craft show. i felt really terrible when i woke up today at 12:55am. i made juice and drank it like my life depended on it. because maybe it does. one time, my uncle was doing a presentation for my family to practice for his new job selling a really expensive vacuum/air filtering system. he said that humans can go three hours without water. he of course made a mistake out of being nervous and talking fast. he meant three days, but my dad took it has him being a tool who doest know what he's talking about. dont buy Rainbow vacuums. they're about $3000 overpriced.

this was my graphic design final project - the purple is the scheme I wanted but I changed it to the reddish brown because the teacher hated it. I still prefer the purple.
