Feed Stores, Stables and The Internet

Sorry... but I realized why I like chickens, feedstores and stables.

Time stands still.

No amount of technology is going to change the chicken, their needs, their habitats, their care and the egg.

No amount of technology is going to change the stable, the horse, the experience of riding one.

No amount of technology is going to change the feedstore, the trough, the food, the equipment. And while computers may control the inventory, they do not change the basic essence of the need as to why people are coming there. Whether for bedding, hay, feed, tack etc walking into a feedstore evokes days gone by - maybe safer, maybe calmer, maybe simpler days.

I need to walk away from the computer and weep. (tissue please)
