How to Hypnotize a Chicken
How to Hypnotize a Chicken
When I was thirteen years old, my Dad taught me how to hypnotize a chicken. We had just finished a 4-H meeting at our house. As we chatted in the yard, I noticed a couple of my Mom’s laying hens nearby. My Dad casually grabbed one hen by the legs and remarked to me, “Did I ever teach you how to hypnotize a chicken?” I replied that I’d never heard of such a thing. My Dad then proceeded to show me how to hypnotize a chicken. It was an amazing thing to see. Here’s how it is done. 01/25/2023 23:00

I am making my daily trip to Gross’ Store in Bernardo on a hot summer afternoon. I usually walked, although I had my bike before I could ride that bike. My 10-minute walk up a country road in the summer heat was well worth the prize that waited for me at the store. 01/25/2023 23:00

The bridge is open!
The bridge is open!
COLUMBUS – Amidst no fanfare, the East River bridge on Highway 90 in Columbus is fi nally open. What took over three years was the bridge that initially looked like a carnival ride and lawsuits later opened with neither a hill to climb nor a ride to ride. At first, when the beams were placed on top of the pillars, the beams looked like the hills of Fredricksburg. The beams were manufactured with slopes that did not fit. Even after all the beams were installed, numerous fail-safes were overlooked, and it was apparent they were not designed and manufactured correctly. 01/18/2023 23:00
