So the past 24 hours have shown me that 2 close friends care about chickens a LOT more than they care about me. OK, I can deal with that. Wait, no I can't... Well, I can, but I have to use a few tricks.
One of them had to come pick up her birds, so I left. Conflict avoidance. Crude but effective. Decided to take a drive to the mountains.
Got into the snow, too tight to turn around, backed out. Ten more feet and I would have been golden. Tires slipped and a few shrubs saved me from rolling into the river. Had to get out the passenger side, my door opened into thin air about eight feet above the water.
Perfect, I so do not care about losing friends any more!
I may not be on steemit for a while, I have some serious assessing of my life to do. And a truck to try to pull off the edge of the drop off.
