Good morning #bitcoin #nostr!

I’m still here! Heading out to help a farmer friend harvest a couple hundred quail. I met him through his CSA (community supported agriculture) group which he started during lockdown when his regular restaurant business slowed.

When I first showed up on his farm he showed me around and poured me and my brother a beer from his home brew setup. It turns out, he has a PhD in biology. He didn’t like the field work he got with the state, doing surveys, monitoring construction sites, so he and his wife started a business raising animals for meat.

He taught me a lot about how to slaughter animals. I just asked, and he obliged. But I always showed up, and I worked for free, or in exchange for the education.

Now, I still volunteer, but I get my monthly CSA box for free 😁 and he filters me so much business! He got me two jobs just next week, farm kills: a pig and a steer.

And I get to be one of the people that does the dirty work for everybody else in the CSA. The animals belong to all of the members, it’s important to them how they are raised, treated, fed, and killed. I take the responsibility seriously. The work is dirty, and killing animals is unpleasant, but it’s rewarding. I thank God for the sacrifice, and someday we all will be consumed by other organisms too; so it goes - life feeds on life! The process of death and decay cannot be disrupted! And it is beautiful!

Time for a morning coffee. God bless you!
