Good Morning, This is Your Wake-up Call

 

Good Morning, This is Your Wake-up Call

Getting a wake-up call when traveling  on business is often essential.

Rooster on Kauai at the Westin Princeville Resort VillasGetting one on vacation is not always on the agenda.

But here on Kauai one doesn’t have a choice.

Kauai is riddled with chickens, everywhere. Along the road, in the parks, in fields, in parking lots at the shopping centers, and at our hotel along the ocean.

The roosters, it seems, take their job very seriously.

Whether it’s competition because there are so many, or just because, they start VERY early in the morning and tend to make it their duty to crow off and on all day and into the night.

Seeing chickens everywhere reminded me of all the cats you see in Italy, and all the goats on St. Martin. Part of the local charm.

Hmm, there seem to be lots of places serving chicken, and the supermarkets offer lots of chicken dishes. Is this a coincidence?

Cock-a-doodle-do!! Time to wake up, dude!

Why DID the chicken cross the road??

I had no idea that the roosters were so plentiful.  Good Morning to you too.

Oh I remember those roosters as well as the pickpockets in Rome as well. Oh wait....that may not be a good parallel :)

Posted by Doug Anderson's Tri-Valley Real Estate Views (Executive Brokers Real Estate Group) 7 months ago

Key West also has some roosters roaming around--  hmmm.  Interesting.  Thanks for the wake-up call!

Dude, you do know it is the early bird that gets the worm! Just stopped by to say; "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOST RADICAL SURFER TYPE DUDE!"  Hope it is a good one!  By the way, did you know you share this most audacious day with two other Rainers?

Jeff, no coincidence.........................where ever they are that day is where you will find the luncheon special.

By the way rumor has it today might be your birthday ( o.k. it's been posted once or twice) So I suggest when you see a chicken look else where...............follow a cow and make your Birthday special

Enjoy the day

I was going to say what Faith said about Key West....  You might be a little leary of any menu that brags about its "free range" chicken, lol!  And Happy Birthday!

Posted by Jennifer Prestwich Your Castle RE Colorado (Henderson, Thornton, Broomfield and Westminster) 7 months ago

I heard through the grapevine that it's your birthday.  Therefore, I know why the chicken crossed the road, to wish YOU a very Happy Birthday. ( and many more!)

Posted by Debb Janes, EcoBroker Camas, Washington EcoBroker (The Carl Group, LLC) 7 months ago

And to think all you wanted to do was sleep in a little on your birthday!

Here's wishing you all the best today... and always.

FIrst off, happy birthday. Second, nice to hear that you are in a sunny place. It's raining right now in your town.

Posted by Melissa Zavala RealtorĀ® North San Diego County Homes (Broadpoint Properties) 7 months ago

Elite - well I didn't either but they tell you about them in the guide books. Hmm, the hotel didn't say a word. Woder if their roosters are on the payroll.

Doug - no problems with pickpockets in Rome but I know they were coming. Lots of gypsies on the trains and in the piazzas.

Faith - Yeah I remember that now that you mention it. Cluck Cluck

Maureen - it is absolutely stunning. But we are in the rainy seasons so lots of showers. like right now.

Hi Jeff – I just dropped by to wish you a happy birthday.  It sounds like you are doing just that!  I live in Fair Oaks, CA and we are famous for our feral chickens here.  We have to keep the screen door closed at our office or they walk right in.

Posted by Susan Neal, Fair Oaks CA Real Estate Broker, CA DRE#686562 (Century 21 Noel David Realty) 7 months ago

On our very first trip you your island we had a 1st floor condo, and the chicks would be on our patio first light crowing!
