Greetings, Chattanooga!

My rooster Barry has begun kicking me in the mornings. I’ve been told that I just need to dominate him – with a broom or something. Instead, I plead with him, offering him treats from the palm of my hand throughout the day. He accepts. Then, the next morning, he kicks me again.

And now, a few recent stories:
