Roosters at a liquor store?

The year without cars is going by quickly! It's been 115 days and I am riding a lot. Maybe not compared to some but for me it's a lot. The weather is turning colder now and if I ride home from work it's in the dark. The rides in the morning have become routine and although I wear my helmet camera I have not been accosted too badly so I am just enjoying the crispy air and quiet time. Occasionally I do run across some strange things and I do see a lot of dead things in the road. Would it be weird to start photographing road kill? Anyway, on Monday, I took the short ride to the store on route 46 when I came upon this weirdness. I thought I was hallucinating but the video would not lie and so it is presented here to make testament to my witnessing two roosters clucking around the parking lot of a liquor store at the side of the highway. Now, mind you, this is not exactly farm country so seeing roosters running around a parking lot is pretty unexpected. Just a note here-These were some pretty fine looking roosters. Anyway, I came to learn a little later on that the deli next door to the liquor store apparently keeps a chicken coop behind their building. I guess they are making their own eggs for fresh and tasty egg sandwiches. Enjoy!
