Ken Ilgunas: Chickens

Chickens

I wrote my first ever guest post on David's blog, "Into the Woods." It's a tale of morality, mortality, love, hate, tragedy, pathos and, uh, chickens.

Ken-

I've been reading the blog for a few months now. The last two posts finally compelled me to comment.

I thoroughly enjoyed the humorous and well-written anthropomorphizing. While not necessarily a difficult task -- in and of itself -- doing it well is. Great work.

Also, having had the fortune of riding down the Dalton on my motorbike this past summer, I basked briefly in the beauty of the Brooks range, and was really primed to enjoy reading your most recent ranger account from the region.

I'm a non-trad college student, and I appreciate the money-saving measures you've undertaken; both in regards to the practical benefits, and the novelty of the experience. It's all about the memories (un-financed ones). In the words of the Dude: "I dig your style, man."

E- Ah, that must have been a bumpy trip. I sorely miss the Brooks and long to go back. In my fantasy, though, there are no mosquitoes or cold wet feet or mountain-climbing-legs heavy with lactic acid.

Thanks for the kind words. I had a ton of fun with anthropomopomorphopizing in the chicken post.
