Interesting, cant say that I've seen a single egg stand around our house but there must be one...I'm going to have to start looking! Surprised that you didn't mention anything about our own farm fresh eggs we had back in Romeo...perhaps that is part of the reason you have an affinity for the local, home grown eggs. I always thought it was a bonus when you got a fertilized one with a little red spot in it, a little extra protein burst from a happy hen! (or at least a happy rooster...the hens never appeared to be enjoying it that much!)

I know the place, Tom, now I know it better, thanks! And the "frequency illusion" finally a name for a frequent experience like when I thought I had the only Kia Soul in town ... and thanks for posting the map again, I've bookmarked this time.

Absolutely priceless. I’m going to start a photo collection of Whidbey eggs as I have noticed them frequently. Thanks for this feel good article.

What a cool story--wish I lived near Snohomish! I'll definitely keep my eyes open for egg stands in the ABQ area. Your story brought back a memory from when I was a kid in SW Iowa. My folks used to stop at a roadside stand near Hancock, IA, for honey. The stand featured several jars of honey and an old cigar box. The owners posted prices, and people left money for the honey they bought. We never saw the owners, but we sure loved their honey!

Butt nuggets! That's hilarious. I wish I liked eggs more. They're so good for you, but to me they taste like you would think a butt nugget would taste! And also, I love this story. It makes me want to drive all the way out there to just buy eggs that I won't eat. I wish I had something similar to me in the hood. Guess I'd better go google if I do or not.
