This Is the Plot of My Next Novel

Chicken manure odor closes Rhea schools :
State and Regional News : Knoxville News Sentinel
: "DAYTON, Tenn. - Icy roads and frigid temperatures are one thing, but schools in Rhea County closed for a half day today due to an offensive odor from chicken manure at a farm near the high school.

District officials said the 'very distinct odor' forced them to close all schools due to bus schedules."

No kidding.  It really is the plot.  I turned in the book last month.  The title?  No Les, No More.

What's the problem. We used to revel in the fresh of chicken manure. Be damned if we aint becoming weak in our urbanized ways.

In my desire to sound too uneducated I left out the word "smell" after the word "fresh." Chicken manure is, by the way, being used as a beauty product in India and Louisville, Kentucky.

The smell was pretty bad--kids were throwing up. I even heard that the nitrogen the manure let off set off a security alert--well, think about it!
