Aw, man! It's the Seventies again! Bummer!

by Robert

We've got the energy crisis, we've got the foreign quagmire, we've got the wacky economy. Wait a minute -- It's the Seventies all over again! I did the Seventies already! Hey! No flashbacks!

Admittedly, people are getting the details wrong. Hybrid cars that combine fuel economy and conspicuous consumption? Gross! A fad for piercings that leaves young people with more holes in them than Bonnie and Clyde? Double gross! What are people smoking?

Look, if we're going to do the Seventies again, let's do it right. Attention, young people! Ditch the black clothing and wear pastels! Attention, politicians! Let's see more resignations! Attention, lunatic fringe! More conspiracy theories! (It was JFK himself on the grassy knoll!)

Let's all pull together and make this a groovier world.

That is all.

The reason I'm writing is because I am a big fan of farmers' blogs, and I got frustrated at spending too much time trying to find good ones and then forgetting to bookmark them.

So, I've started www.farmblogs.blogspot.com.

The idea is simple. I ask farm bloggers I like to recommend bloggers they like; I then write to those that they have recommended, as I am writing to you, and ask you to send me a brief description of your blog, and the farm blogs that you recommend.

You were recommended by Steve at Church Farm View.

I've put a link to you on www.farmblogs.blogspot.com

All I ask is that you send me a brief email to info AT ianwalthew.com with a few words about your farm, your blog AND your own favorite farmers' blogs.

I then make a brief posting, add your recommendations, contact the blogs you recommend, and so it goes.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Ian

Yes, the Seventies appear to be back, although some people still refer to both decades as the Sixties.
On an unrelated issue, I have a question: Do you know of the best (non-pesticide) way to get rid the the mites that chickens peck off each other, resulting in all their tail feathers and even more being pecked off? Nude chickens are pretty disgusting looking, and don't winter very well.
