There's a difference between straw and hay

I'm a city boy. I didn't know that, but now I do.

I want straw for Ghost to sleep on, not hay. Hay is dried grass and legumes that animals eat. Straw is an agricultural byproduct, the dry stalk of a cereal plant, after the nutrient grain or seed has been removed.

Thanks, wikipedia.

Oh, I also found out that I was guilty of another reality inversion. I woke early today to go to Reading Feed to but straw and dog food, but they open at 9 am, not 6 am.

Ok, I'll go back later.

Citybeat stuff to do today and care of Uly, of course, too.

Good for you. Now you know.

I remember learning drywall, all the guys sniggered at my friend Sheila and I when we didn't already know all about construction. I doubt any of us know anything we didn't have to learn.

Is that why hay is cheaper, straw is free...live on a farm and you can have all three?

Hey email me a phone # or some info on that motorcycle?!
