Still need time to get back to normal everything, but I figure you all want to know What’s Going On In Mary Worth? How many content warnings does Mary Worth need right now? March – June 2025 before I move on to pictures from the Jackson County Fair, as seen here:
Now on to the turkeys, so ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger approves of my sending lots of pictures up another day.
Part of me is sorry not to have this turkey's head in focus but part of me thinks that makes the picture.
I think this is the same turkey, just in focus.
Now the turkey just looks like a muppet, though.
Turkey seems annoyed I say the pose makes him look like a muppet and yet ...
Here's one that's a little more chill about being photographed.
And immediately the turkey tries to break out of the bounds of my camera frame.
I understand hygiene as a way to control and limit disease spread especially at something like this where you gather birds from all over the county and then disperse them again, but 5 pm Friday either means wash the birds before the fair starts (in which case, why leave the sign up after that?) or after they've been living together nearly a full week, which seems like maybe too late to do anything. I'm not sure what the point of the sign is, is what I'm saying.
Pile of chickens in some clean wood chips.
And on into the expo hall that has, among other things, the photography exhibit.
Some fairy gardens on display here.
A track for a guinea pig races that I'm sorry to have missed because, like, have you ever seen guinea pig races? Your typical guinea pig can go as many as five waddling steps before remembering they could be not racing instead so it's some fun trying to get them to move.
Trivia: In 1925 the four major (American) newsreel producers averaged a weekly net profit of about forty thousand dollars. By 1928, with six major companies making newsreels (Paramount and MGM had started their own lines, though MGM's was produced by Hearst, itself a longtime newsreel producer), the average was a total weekly net loss of about fifteen thousand dollars.
