Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. It was cold in the morning, but as the sun worked its way the day started to feel almost like spring. More of that, please.
And spring was in the air, it seemed. Or maybe just hormones. Because there was a lot of ruckuss in the goat pen. It started before Ie ven let out hte newbies. Mia was trying to hump Sky and they were snorting and whatnot. I don’t know what got into Sky today, haha. She’s normally the quiet one. Today her and Mia were sniffing eachother and she was doing guttural noises likea buck. she had some headbutting with Nuller too. He’s a brave little boy, he doesn’t back down. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s getter bigger and bolder that got to Sky. She’s kinda lowest in the hierarchy of the bigger goats. Maybe she wanted to try and make sure she doesn’t get overtaken by the lil guy too. Or maybe some of them are in heat or maybe it’s because they were restless from the weekend. Who knows. But lots of silliness.
We had some visitors in the sunshine too. A kindergarten I think. I picked up Nuller and went over to the fence so the kids could pet him and ask questions and they were all very excited. I was holding Nuller in my arms and then I let him sort of stand up in my embrace. And then he jumped up on my shoulders. I was standing totally upright and he was perched like a parrot. One of the best displays of goat-on-you-shoulder I’ve ever done. And the kids loved it. One of their adults asked if she could take a picture, and of course she could. It’s nice to know we gave all the kids a good experience, and it’s a fun thought that this mgiht be a story they tell as they look at the pictures for who knows how long to come. I let Nuller off and sat down on the rocks and then Milo jumped up on my back, which amsed them all too since he’s considerably bigger. A couple of the kids thought that the eartags meant the goats were for sale. And one said ‘when we grow up we’ll buy the little one’ and another said ‘but when you’re grown up he’ll be grown up too’ and the first said ‘we’ll still buy him and love him’. Aww. Haha. Cute kids. But they’ll have to give me a sleeping bag in the attic if they take him away.
Lots of sweetness and fun and sun today.

I love this kid. He’s been a quick learner. Bravely standing up to bigger goats, bravely climbing the human mountain. He’s picked up a trick from Milo too. The surprise-attack. Normally when I have goats on my back it’s because I invite them. I lean over, they get the idea, there’s a nice ‘slope’ to climb up. But the surprise attack is when I’m sitting upright doing something else and suddenly a goat launches itself towards me. It usually doesn’t go that well because.. well, it’s hard to jump straight from the ground onto a human’s shoulder if you don’t have the ‘leaning slope’ to jump onto first. So usually it’s just kinda like firing a canonball at me, they bounce off and hit the ground. Haha. But Nuller smaller size means a better chance of making it because he can fit better on the shoulder.
So now we’re running off to join the circus, byeee

Mia and Sky, taking a break and enjoying the sun.
I’m going to take a break and enjoy the dreams. If you need to reach me, you better have long fingers.

I had a bunch of great dreams last night. My favourite was meeting David Lynch and having him sign my book. I think it was a Twin PEaks book. He didn’t just sign his name, he made some kind of doodle in it and he was putting a lot of effort into it. There was also some fighting aliens, singing comic books and unwrapping christmas gifts. All tihs and more.

How’s the Benny Hill National Emergency going? Are the billionaires still golfing?
If you’re running low on supplies I can mail you some stale bread and old raisins.

Time to binge season 2 of Counterpart. I love that show. It’s like a cross between Fringe and a boring German spy drama. That’s a recommendation, by the way.
JK Simmons is so good.

The Nuller investigation has uncovered some very incriminating evidence about suspected raisin fraud.

Are you taking pictures of me again?!
I guarantee they didn’t have a crazy cameraman following them around at their old place.

That was a nice jab on snl actually. If you Americans don’t want Mexicans running drugs into your country, why don’t you do something about the drug addiction problem you have? Why don’t you do something about the mental health problems that are apparently causing all the gun violence?

I was supposed to see the goats today, but I tripped and fell into a dark hole. I’ve been doing better lately, but obviously there are still pitfalls. When I get hung up on how awful the world is and how dumb I am and they’re killing bees and I shouldn’t have eaten that and what was that sound?
I am going to go to bed and sleep for 20 hours so it can be tomorrow, because tomorrow is family soup day. So that’s something. Hope everyone out there is out there. Far out, man.

Good soup times today. Nice to get together with the whole family, see my brother again, see the soup again. Now I have soup in the fridge for a few days. Might be the last of the season, since soup is a winter food. I’ll enjoy it.

I’ve been having these episodes where it feels like time implodes into a single point, instead of a linear progression. You know? I wonder if my timeline is collapsing.
It’s been happening more often lately. If you guys see time behaving oddly, let me know. I’m not sure if it’s just me or

What I want to know is, what is the Space Force doing during this national emergency? Now, don’t get me wrong. I realise it’s not a SPACE emergency. But can’t you redirect the Space Force during such an extraordinary crisis like this one?
Btw, I think China is proof that building a wall works. As far as I know, there are very few Mexican drug lord caravans entering China. It really IS a great wall of.
