Urban Hen Keeper or Terrorist?
Posted in urban chickens on Jan 11th, 2008
Tonight we were supposed to go snowboarding with friends at Alpental. While I’m an avid skier, tonight would have been my first time on a snowboard since very early 1997! But alas at 3:00 pm it was raining on the pass - rain is the biggest drawback of being a skier in Washington. Oh well.

Tonight we got the counter offer on the farm we want. It was a totally reasonable counter, nothing surprising, nothing out of line. We meet with our agent tomorrow afternoon to decide our next move. Do we counter their counter? Accept it? What? I guess we won’t know until tomorrow comes around.
