I mean like only a few years old...looks like it's not quite finished. But there is a gate on the driveway, and I've not seen a soul there since we moved in the neighborhood in Nov. of 08. Strange, huh? Also, my brother used to work for Rose Acres Egg Farm in Hyde Co. They're not very humane. If they find a rooster, they kill it. He said each day he'd have to walk about two miles looking for dead chickens. Out of about 12 million chickens, they'd have 200-300 dead chickens a day! How awful is that?!<br />~RandyChicken Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086930297113842826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836579613445021110.post-78949059744981335582010-05-04T11:01:06.129-04:002010-05-04T11:01:06.129-04:00I have heard that story on This American Life.

Even my boys, probably 8 and 10 years old at the time, sat and listened, too.

For a real life example of someone who DID find out why someone abandoned their wonderful home, with everything in it, check out The House on Loon Lake, a "This American Life" story.

The next time I'm in Raleigh I should take a few for the shop! Hope you are well- Things here are good... Just getting really excited about the trip to Brimfield, MA for the huge antique show they have up there.

I would never take anything, just look. I did about six months ago stop at one with my husband. I think he was a bit intimidated. I just wanted to take pictures.
