goats

spent a fun morning at the Blacksheep gathering in Albany, OR... While my wife was shopping for wool, I spent some time in the livestock pavilion, looking at the beautiful animals... The Olympus Stylus 1 came in pretty handy - the photos came out quite nicely although it was quite dark in there...

So last Friday I spent the afternoon with some of the fine folks at Integrazers, who have been helping to do both weed abatement and fire mitigation here in California for years by leasing their herds of goats and sheep to landowners, industrial parks, and even neighborhood HOAs. Cue cuteness...
