Joe McDonald working away while doing laundry and using the clothes wringer. Interesting cutaways of red rooster head, his work area, sounds of birds chirping and chickens clucking. Potted cactus plants in his yard. McDonald generally stays busy at his place as well as working for the V.F.W. Aforementioned cutaways establish a sense of locale where he lives.
