As if my life really needed the excitement...


Why did I do it? I haven't quite analyzed my psyche long enough to actually divine the answer. I bought two Emu chicks. Is it a leftover of some childhood sadness over not getting a Easter chick? No...I don't think so...because Emu's are like Chickens on steroids in Texas. That can't be the reason. I believe I would classify it as more of one of those oddities that approach us in life. I chose to embrace the idea. No I am the proud surrogate parent of two Emu chicks. They are very cute...and they already can out run me in only 3 weeks. I named them Aussie and Sydney. Real original...My concern is not over them now...but what I am I going to do when they are 6 feet tall...and literally almost bullet proof. I have enough room...I know how to take care of them...but if I move...what will I do...I don't believe they allow Emu's as apartment pets. What a web we spin for ourselves? Most people when they fill the need for a little difference in their life...get their hair cut...dyed or go on vacation...I bought an two Emu chick...what does that say about me?

Don't answer that!
Goodnight Cyberspace...May life leave you well, happy and with out too much trouble.
