The pig

"They want my bacon slice by slice, to sell at a tremendous price! They want my tender juicy chops, to put in all the butcher's shops! They want my pork to make a roast, and that's the part'll cost the most! They want my sausages in strings, they even want my chitterlings, The butcher's shop! The carving knife! That is the reason for my life!" Roald Dahl - The pig

Just for the record - I do eat bacon and I've heard that pigs make great pets. The pig image is from the Graphics Fairy  - linking to Brag Monday.

Pigeon post

In a way pigeon post could be considered the first form of airmail. Pigeons are still used to carry messages in some remote regions of the world where other postal options are not available, and pigeon enthusiasts also keep birds for the purpose of sending messages to other enthusiasts, keeping this ancient tradition alive. This is my entry for the Mail Art challenge at Three Muses.
