Pardon Me, but is that a chicken on Uranus?



Hello again, Peeps!

Well, last Friday I made the trip up to Caribou (follow the link to a webcam shot near the office) and after a long day of work, we stopped for a few pictures of me on Uranus.

Never one to let facts or history get in the way of a good joke or three;
  • Thanks to scientist, Ben Dover for his discovery, we can all look up at URANUS now.
  • Due to the poisonous gases that exist, Man nor Chicken can not survive anywhere near URANUS.
  • There are two mountains, a crater, and a lava flow on Uranus
BAAAWWWK!

Okay, well actually there is a scale model of the Solar System in Northern Maine. As always, you can click on the picture for a larger view if you cannot quite read what is on the sign





And yes they let poor little planet/not a planet Pluto stay!


Enjoy the slide show!




Chester out!

New Orleans More Than Just Bourbon Street

While my time in New Orleans will most be remembered for the night time activities, I did have to pitch in and help out during the day as well.

My likeness was used to help keep the Geeks in line;



And I was consulted in a presentation or two & a little network tech support...






There are many activities in the area from historical, ghost, swamp and river tours to shops, museums and restaurants. Just a great interesting city!


Below are a few pictures form the Swamp and River Tours we took while in New Orleans. I hope you enjoy them;

This is called the Redneck Riviera! A sandy beach in the middle of the swamp!

A fellow fowl




The picture on the left is the spot where the house was built and resided before Katrina. The picture on the right is where Katrina placed it, almost intact some 2 miles away!!!



The bipeds on the tour nicknamed it the Bug Tour since the the 3 different bug sprays did little to hold off the gnats, though they did not seem to bother me!


Here are a couple of natives....


A Water Moccasin


And some Gators



Some more of my cousins...


Some nice flora














where they have held weddings, filmed movies (Gator and a few others) and where moonshiners used to meet monthly to vote on the best shine allowing the winner to put the number 1 on that batch for the month so the customers would know who had the best batch!


In closing, if you get the chance to go to New Orleans, DO IT!

Chester On Bourbon Street!



Howdy Peeps!
Well here is the long awaited post from my trip down Bourbon Street in New Orleans!




This is a place tailor made for a Party Chicken! An absolutely wild place where little has not been seen already.... or so I thought! It seems I may have chartered new territory for the my species (Partius Synthecius Chickenous) as it appeared that no one had seen anything quite like me before. This was very surprising to Lee and to Me.

I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did in living it!

Hopefully you can see the video below;

A Little More on Bourbon




Howdy Peeps!
Well we are still in New Orleans and having a great time. It is a great area an I recommend that you visit if you get the chance!

To answer a question in the comments section, no I am not in Jail. Lee has been very busy and hogging the laptop, preventing me from posting! He is busy now so I am sneaking a quick post.



Rest assured that the full post on Bourbon Street will be worth the wait.
I am trying to figure out an issue with hosting right now, but I'll put my considerable Chicken Brain to it and get it done!
More soon,
-Chester
