  1. I knew that one was from Chad before I ever got to the bottom as the mention of heat and electricity for chickens would not have been mentioned:)

  2. You make me dizzy thinking about your list, and that makes me think about mine, and now my head REALLY hurts.

    No really, that is an awesome, ambitious list. But, you can do it!
