Thanks for the shout-out, man. I hope others like this story as much as I did writing it. I agree with you about the priorities of editors, by the way. I think the reason they don't like "animal stories" is that it makes us look "too local" and like we're something below the standard of the New York Times...so we can't emphasize a story about a rooster (it's too rural or something.) Maybe I'm wrong and it's just that the editor has a stick up her ass. She really is known for having no sense of humor. Wow, I am famous. Thanks for the shout-out, man.
