The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

I experienced this about a month ago, but with a flock of 5-6 guineas. Interestingly, not in a straight line. These are free range guineas on the family farm, and I was driving a small UTV on a path that had been mowed around the perimeter of the place.

Get close = RUN!!!
But only down the easiest path (mowed). There was obviously very good hiding on the right (full growth wheat field) and on the left (overgrown yard, small trees etc.) but nope, we’re gonna run down the path. They even took a few turns where they had to make an effort to stay on the path.

I assumed it was path of least resistance = greatest escape velocity. But they only got out of range and then just… stopped.

Guineas aren’t very bright. Also, SQUIRREL!!!

probably… could also be maximum visibility re the ā€œthreatā€ā€¦ darting into overgrowth… for a guinea pig… could be risky. Can’t see / track the threat, also can’t maneuver very well being a guinea pig :slight_smile: haha!

Sorry, not clear. Guinea Fowl, not Guinea Pig. Like a cross between a chicken and a volleyball. No brains at all. Makes A LOT of noise when disturbed or something is out of place. Country folk tend to keep them as small insect control with a side of biological alarm system.

It might be the default but it still made me smile.

Although I solved the baby problem by being single and not having children. Ok, a part of it is that I’m too much of a nerd to understand dating.

Sadly, I couldn’t quote the following post while on my phone. I’ll try to fix this later. Fixed:

No context. Just gentle rain down to the river.

Random alcohol-fuel thought: After the last 1.5 years of consuming copious quantities of Bourbon, I spent half of today looking up Cigar stuff… I’m suddenly consumed with the need to start smoking cigars? I guess it’s an old man thing :rofl:

Cigars and whiskey are a great match. Not like cigarettes and coffee good but more of a dessert thing.
