Distractions
Earlier this month, my neighbor (moved in in April, and the second question she asked me was "can I have chickens?") popped over to tell us someone would be speaking at the town council meeting about our chicken ordinance. My husband and I went, and like the bulk of those present, got up and left as soon as the 1 guy talking about chickens was done. He's got an illegal coop, didn't know it was illegal, got a citation, and was asking for the town to revisit the chicken ordinance.
A couple-4 years back, our local chicken lady tried to raise interest and petitioned the town to change the ordinance. She was unsuccessful. After the council meeting, I dropped her an email, asked if there were meetings or a yahoogroup or *something* I could get involved in to help get the chicken ordinance changed. She said "no, but we can start." SCORE!
I have a meeting this afternoon with the chicken lady, and the guy with the illegal coop. I don't know if anyone else is coming, but I don't really care. I'm going to get out of the house, grab a cuppa, and talk to adults that aren't my husband this afternoon about something I care about.
