The Sun's not yellow it's chicken

JTEM whining about this & that, plus the secrets of the universe and the occasional chicken recipe.
Oct 24 '12
There’s only one way to enjoy “Walden Pond” and that’s to swim in it.  And, yes, I have many times as a kid… Actually, I have a friend whose family was written about by Thoreau.  Seems their ancestor was a farmer in Lincoln Massachusetts, where Thoreau lived at the time.  On their land. So this farmer — their ancestor — evicted him.  Why?  Either because of a fire Thoreau set (according to the family) or because Thoreau was a pauper and couldn’t pay rent (according to everybody else). Anyhow, Thoreau moved on over to neighboring Concord Massachusetts, overlooking a little pond there… Walden Pond. The rest, as they say, is history…
