Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

Do You Remember....
.... your teddy bear??
About the stuffing material, wood wool:
(From Wikipedia)
Wood wool, known primarily as excelsior in North America
is a product made of wood slivers cut from logs and is mainly used in
packaging, for cooling pads in home evaporative cooling systems known as
swamp coolers, for erosion control
mats, and as a raw material for the production of other products such
as bonded wood wool boards and used as stuffing for stuffed animals.
Add caption
The term wood wool is used in the United States to describe finer grades of excelsior.
sThe U.S. Forest Service stated in 1948 and 1961 that, "In this country
the product has no other general name, but in most other countries all
grades of excelsior are known as wood wool. In the United States the
name wood wool is reserved for only a small proportion of the output
consisting of certain special grades of extra thin and narrow stock."
