Gus opens the door
12/22/15 at 17:49:20
 
and puts one foot through the door. He looks up at the " tall table" and all it represents, bows his head, clamps his eyes shut and shakes his head. He picks up his head and opens one eye and steals one more look. As smoke rises from the table he takes one step back, closes the door and walks away.

Some day maybe . . . .someday; but not today . . . . Undecided

I cried BIG time when after I caught my first fish, my dad killed it and ate it.
I have since went on to catch so many fish I couldn't even begin to tell you how many.

When you come back Gus, I will tell you about women  Grin

I wish I could have taken a picture of the woman's face at the store when I explained that the different names for the steaks were because they were from different places of the cow. I don't think that she really understood that what she called steak was actually a muscle in a particular place in the cows body. Seems she walked away without buying any meat.

Justin you didn't have to go and do that. I had no,idea. I been wondering why people been chasing and feeding the critters out here for so many years. I thought they were retirement homes for cows in the movies. I'll  never eat a burger again!

Burgers are okay...  
Claims of beef in those are highly dubious... Wink

I have a friend back east that won't go into a Mexican restaurant since he was out here visiting and I showed him a miniature donkey, and told him it was a "burr-e-toe"...

Back when grocery stores actually had butchers and bought beef hanging on hooks, rolling them off the truck, hanging on a trolley system into a cooler, bringing them out, cutting them up, packaging the various cuts and tossing the fat and scraps into a container, then dumping the contents of that container into a hopper, and grinding it into hamburger, that Might impact the hunger for a cheeseburger, but, having seen it,it didn't dampen my enthusiasm one bit.

The store manager took me into the market after closing one night and asked if I'd like for him to hang me by the belt on one of those hooks. I thought it would be a blast. He got me up there, I was tiny, he was a big dude, and he gave me a shove toward the back door, feet to the door. I absorbed it with the knees and jumped as hard as I could and went flying down the rail. It had a couple of turns in it to allow the butchers to put a side of beef where they wanted it to start the disassembly process. We did that a while, then when I jumped, he flipped a switch and opened the door to the cooler. Pretty funny,, slapping into a side of beef.

I sell stuff to the food & beverage industry and one of my customers claim they are the largest beef kill plant in the US. At peak capacity, they can kill and process 11,000 head a day. It's an unbelievable sight to see behind the scenes. 3500 employees, it's like a small city.   I've seen every stage of production except the kill floor in operation.

JoG - That sounds like a happy memory from a time that will never again come to pass.

But for some reason, I can see that as a happy memory and, when put so bluntly as Mark described... it doesn't turn my stomach but "kill floor" has a certain connotation to it.
