Floyd
Floyd is the judge for the State Fair guinea hen competition. In some circles he is known the world round for his ability to choose the hen which, during the award ceremony, everyone feels was the right choice.
After Deanneanddeandeandeanne Left the Village and Live Kind of Alone in the Woods, Floyd was mayor of the village for some time. At first he was really terrible at the job, but as years passed and everyone settled in to the way he thought everything should be arranged, he was quite effective.
Early Floyd
Morgan asked Floyd, "All those hens look identical to me, how in the world do you choose a winner?"
Floyd reached back to his bookshelf and took down "Guide to North American Competitive Guinea Hen Breeding and Husbandry, fifth edition", and launched into a lengthy well organized introduction to the topic. He ranged effortlessly through the details of criteria for feather texture, coloring, proportions and finally the complex rules for strutting style.
"How in the world do you keep all that in your head?" asked Morgan, incredulous.
Floyd looked back in confusion and dismay. For him, all the details formed an ornate cathedral, each part in harmony with all others, there weren't hundreds of details to remember, only one single array of harmonious pattern. On top of that, the knowledge, for Floyd, was a matter of survival. There was no alternative. He had to know.
