Pink Floyd: Animals (1977)

I would place Animals in my top three PF records. I like it better than The Wall, even though I didn't even hear it until after I owned a copy of The Wall. Back in 1985 or 1986, some friends of mine went on a acid trip, and this was one of the record that they listened to. When I heard that report, I decided to track down a copy (an original Canadian pressing form 1977) and give it a listen. It was totally off my radar, I assume because it did not have a single, like Money or Wish You Were Here or Another Brick in the Wall. I was floored. I loved it immediately, though I gather the not all Pink Floyd fans love it.

Looking for a Good Home

In light of some circumstances beyond my control, I need to find new homes for my small family of Fawn and White Indian Runner Ducks. You can get photos and standards here for this breed of duck.

The patriarch, Jack, is a fine example. He is lean with a perfect wedge-shaped bill. He stands 75 inches tall and has full, alert, and bright eyes. His partner, Jill, has tight, smooth, and hard feathers, and stands a very straight 66 inches from bean to toe. Their children, Wanda and Richard, are joyful, playful, and loving. These guys will do you well in the show pen.

If I can't find a new home for them, I will be forced to find room for them in my freezer and then practice my French cookery skills. I found a very nice recipe for Duck a l'orange.

I am offering these fine birds on a first-come, first-served basis. I will also hand over all of my copies of IRDA newsletters.
