[TheForge] Scrawy Boonie was in the oven

[Andrew Vida]

You see, the problem there for me would have arisen the moment my 
darling grand daughter named the bird.  At that point she becomes family 
and, well... back to the store for a frozen bird.

I have a terrible time killing anyone known to me.  Names, faces... 
yeah, that puts the kybosh on all my plans.  That's why I plug deer when 
they come to crib my orchard.  I don't (usually) know them, get really 
pissed, and by those virtues am able to pull the trigger. But mama doe 
who's raised babies these past 4 years in our front pasture presents a 
serious problem for me because I'd probably sooner shoot myself, than her.

Yes, I know.  Don't have to say it. Sorely aware.
