Joram (not his real name), my next-door neighbour at my Laikipia County farm, is the primary source of my miseducation in character development. A retired civil servant, Joram previously spent his days at the local shopping centre doing what some thirsty retirees do.
A few months ago, his adult son decided to provide positive choices on where Joram should spend his time by building him an animal pen. Joram Junior, a full-time resident of a neighbouring county, then purchased 10 goats and 30 chickens to ostensibly keep Senior busy.
