    I seem to recall that Janis had been designing a home to build, perhaps when this whole arc began way back when.

    So that means Meg might be nearby — and lots of chicken manure.

    Don’t buy it Arlo! You don’t really want to move.

    10 acres means a lot more gardening, Arlo!

    Who wouldn’t want to live next to a chicken farm?

    You don’t want to be downwind from a chicken farm, hog farm, horse farm or a dairy.

    For once I’m glad that this strip is not set in Florida. Otherwise we’d know that whatever Gus did with the non-A&J property, it would eventually be bulldozed, scraped to within 6 inches of the bedrock (well, limestone), leveled, any springs, sinkholes or other natural/interesting features plugged up, covered with roads and hundreds of McMansions 10 feet apart (choice of two, maybe three, floor plans), and marketed as being “in the country” as a development named “Canopy”, “Green Forest Arbor”, or “The Woods at Timberland”.

    Pardon my rant. But besides that being basic Florida history for the last century or so, it’s happened at least a couple times in Tallahassee just in the last few years. With local government subsidizing the developers.

    And yes, I’m aware that I’m a hypocrite because my house (50 years old when we bought it) sits on land that was once a pasture and probably a forest before that.

    Two kinds of farms are super stinky: Pigs and chickens.

    So Gus plans to leave the rest of the old farm to his daughter and her family, after gifting 10 acres to his daughter’s in-laws. Nice plan and well executed – bravo.

    I don’t think they’d want to live next to a chicken farm no matter who owns it.

    Does anyone really want to live next to a chicken farm??…or run one?

    Why would it be a secret that Gus might keep the other 30 acres? That seems like a selling point for A and J since there would not be any other buildings nearby.

    Chicken farms is a misnomer. Chickens are raised today in huge industrial complexes with row after row of large hatchery buildings. They stink, and they emit all sorts of pollutants. Nobody in the right mind would want to live anywhere close to one.

    I doubt that many people will see this comment, considering the time of day.

    I wonder how many of us who posted today about the stink had eggs for breakfast and will have chicken for dinner. I did, and I will.

    So if you build, someday you might live next to a chicken farm. What a odorous Joy

    For those readers who are not familiar with the smell of a chicken farm, NEVER even be down wind of one.

    Ok, so I’m retired, right? I used to work in the coatings industry and my brain has no good reason to have any thoughts of work whatsoever, especially when reading the comics, right? That is until it sees the first panel in this strip and thinks: “Gee, Gene is painting the walls a lively color of ‘purple passion’, I wonder what room this is?” All these intrusive thoughts occurring because we used pots to grind colored pigments in the lab that looked a lot like the ones in today’s strip, and the fact that the top of the back wall above Gene’s head in the first panel is in need of a few brush strokes to be finished. My brain needs a stern talking to . . . .

    Chicken is cheap in the store! Keep your house and when you think of chicken go to Popeyes.

    My mom and dad were going to build their “dream” home even had the property already. My dad designed it, built a scale model -almost like a doll house, even though I didn’t get to play with it. Then Mom got cancer, and it never got built. Eventually Dad sold the property, and stayed in the house they had bought as their temporary home.
