Pictured: Baby chick brooder fashioned from oval stock tank (hillbilly bathtub) and homemade lid. Be sure to clamp or weight the lid to keep predators out--baby chicks are apparently delicious.
Errata: I refer to Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, the surprise winner of the Democrat primary in New York's 19th Congressional district, as an "unwise Latina", which is correct, but I incorrectly name her "Gomez". Must have been thinking of the Addams Family patriarch.
