Nah, Verona.....I was just kinda being sarcastic......it was actually beautiful except for what some of the nasty locals would do.

That and it seemed like the whole country was 75 years behind the times on public bathroom design and plumbing........a hole in the floor to take a dump in and crepe paper for TP.......WTH is that about?

I spent a lot of time in Naples in the Seventies, and it stunk and was a pit.

I remember coming in to Fleet Landing on a launch, and the thick carpet of debris, dead animals, and trash we plowed through was disgusting!

I hear it has been somewhat “gentrified” since then...probably like Olongapo in the PI!

Ghost Chickens In The Sky

A Chicken farmer went out one dark and dreary day.

He rested by the coop as he went along his way.

When all at once a rotten egg hit him in the eye.

It was the sight he dreaded: Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

Chorus:

Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok.

Bok, Bok, Bok, Bok.

Ghost Chickens in the Sky!

The Farmer had raised chickens since he was 24,

Workin’ for the Colonel for 30 years or more,

Killing all those chickens and sending them to fry.

Now they want revenge. Ghost Chickens in the sky.

Chorus

Their feet were black and shiny. Their eyes were burning red.

They had no meat or feathers. These chickens all were dead.

They picked the farmer up and he died by the claw.

They cooked him extra crispy, and ate him with cole slaw.

Key West is loaded with yard birds.....they had a round up a few years ago but I think it’s probably back to where they were.

"The Key West chickens are protected. By protected, it means that the locals are not permitted to harm them. Key West Wildlife Center lends locals a humane chicken trap to catch stray chickens when the population of the birds outgrows control and voracious hawks leave the area."

Chicken is made for BBQ. Hawaiians know what to do.

Except this are scrawny birds with tough, stringy meat.

More akin to fighting chickens than eating ones.

Yep. Still at the top of the food chain, however.

They are certainly quite beautiful to look at.

And they shop at Walmart:

So you can just pick one off with Yer Gamo and toss it on the grill? That’s about an $8 savings.

Key West has had a feral chicken issue for as long as I can remember, and I have been going there every year since 1992.

“I have Polaroid pictures of Waikiki my dad took in 1944”

The polaroid wasn’t introduced until 1948.

I have pictures from 1944.
I just assumed they were from a Polaroid.
What would they be? Just a regular Kodak camera?

Seems as though it might be worth a shot to eat one just to find out. Chicken, I mean.
