Rise Of The Planet Of The Plumes
The weather has been quite lovely lately. There’s still rain now and then but it’s nice and warm also. It’s good for when I ride my exercise bike. When the sun is shining and it’s warm. And I crank up the heat anyway. The sweat literally pours down my body, and it feels really good. I have been making a good effort of that lately, so hopefully I can keep that up.
In goat news, the goats had a little walkabout on Monday. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=P9bGYrvK7z8. Even the grownups were off the leash. That made me happy. Goats should be free. Although they do inevitably get in trouble. Before I left I had to herd them back from an expedition up in the ghetto block. There’s a tiny little patch of grass up there which is apparently a lot tastier than the football pitch full of grass below. I think for goats the grass is indeed always greener on the other side. It doesn’t matter how much juicy, fresh grass there is, they will still slowly migrate and look for more and better things. But it was real good to walk around the premises with them. I wish it could be like that every day. Even if I have to drag them back when they wander out of bounds.
I still think they should hire me as a goat keeper.

Hee, hee. Where would I go if I were a goat? Everywhere, that’s where!
Headline: Denmark is taken over by three semi-tame goats, watch video at 8:00 pm. There only seems to be one brave (?) person left to document this take-over of Denmark. Cars are heard and seen racing away from the goat headquarters as fast as possible.
Stay tuned for more information as it comes in. Meanwhile, lock yourselves in your houses. If attacked, throw raisins, peanuts, chickens, and crackers to the goats and run in the other direction.

Debster – It’s a big wide world full of eats!
I guess I’m the last line of defence. It sounds much scarier than those silly zombie movies! A hungy goat is way more dangerous than a little zombie. Now Zombie Goats, THAT would be frightening.

Zombie Goats . . . they walk on their hind legs with their front legs extended out. Their eyes have both horizontal and vertical slits. They break into people’s houses (or apartments) to get raisins, nuts, bread, crackers, and hay. There is no way to stop them . . .
Or me for that matter. I seem to have gotten a bit carried away with the very silly idea of Zombie Goats.
Back in a moment. . . I hear a noise at the back door. I’ll just go see what it is after I eat my piece of raisin bread and put these crackers back in the package.
(Two hours later: send help! Zombie goats are attacking our house or maybe “your” Aarhus!” hee, hee)
