The employee has named her Clara. Chickens are not a rarity in the city, Ray says, adding that Clara will likely end up at a hobby farm.

By noon, the temperature is already hovering around 25 degrees. Ray, in his heavy navy blue uniform pants, is sweating. At some point during his 24 years with the city, Ray was able to wear shorts in the summer. The now-mandatory pants are a source of contention.
