Good goat times today. A rainy morning. But luckily it cleared up pretty much right as a I got to the goat pen. So i got some quite nice time in sunshine with the goaties. After that I had to go do tech support for my parents. My dad had somehow managed to complete wreck his browser. Like, the exe file was 12 kb big. Don’t ask me how that happened. Luckily I could fix it by copying the exe file from my mother’s browser. I got them on seperate portable browsers, for just this kind of thing.
Then a walk home in minor rain. And then I made the mistake of leaving my jacket at home when I went shopping. And the rain started coming down pretty hard. But it’s alright. I like getting soaked as long as it’ not too cold.
All in a day’s work, and play.

Sky and Nuller. Look at the size difference. Even this poorly framed photo you can see it. Hard to believe Sky is actually older than Nuller, she looks like a baby next to him.

Did you know that Giancarlo Esposito was born in Denmark? I didn’t. But I do now. He’s not Danish, but he was born in Copenhagen. Moff Gideon from The Mandalorian, and a ton of other stuff. Always knew I liked that guy.

Good goat times today. Managed to get out, despite not feeling well. Had to spend some time in the toilet first. I know, it’s cuter when it’s the goats doing it. And I felt like I might have to throw up. But I decided to get out anyway, and thankfully I felt pretty ok. Just happy to be with the goats. Mia managed to pull the treatbag out of my pocket at one point. Sending pasta and peanut flying around the goat house. Oh boy. I tried to recover as much of it as I could, but most of it ended up being crunched by happy goaties. Grr. Well, maybe I’ll try that tactic with the pizza guy next time…
I’m still feeling a bit wonky. I feel like I need to get something to eat, but also like I might hurl it if I do. So that’s fun. We’ll see how it goes.

That thing when you’re going grocery shopping and you have to return some bottles and the lady in front of you at the recycling machine has two big garbage bags full of small bottles. Sigh. And all you an do is wait. Silently wait. Wait for the machine to inevitably break down.
That’s always fun!
And then, believe it or not, I ended up behind the same lady when I was at the cash register. And the cashier was someone who seemed very new at the job and was working very slowly. Super! I ended up spending twice as much time standing in line as I did actually getting the groceries I needed.
It’s times like that it’s good to remind yourself that you’re lucky you can just go down and buy groceries without bombs falling around your ears or tornadoes or murderous heatwaves or christmas carollers.
Still, if you have a million bottles to return maybe split it into a couple of goes?
Oh and I’ve now had something to eat and so far I haven’t thrown up. So far so good.

Sky may be the littlest but she’s been feisty this week. Knocking heads with practically everyone. Even Sassy, whomst she normally runs away from immediately. And even Mia, whomst she’s usually very good friends with. Here it’s Nuller trying to hold his own against the little gladiator.

I’ve been trying for a few days to come up with something to say about what’s going on in Afghanistan. But words always fall short. Obviously it doesn’t matter what I have to say about it anyway.
But it occured to me that I do have something I can say. I can tell you about Abdul. A kid I got to know at the old playground. I’m not sure how old he was, 10ish maybe? He was at the playground a lot back in 2013-14. His family were refugees from Afghanistan. He was a really sweet boy. A good kid. You know sometimes you just feel like you can tell if a kid is good or bad? There were some kids were I got the feeling that when left alone with the animals they might tease them. Abdul was a good boy. Super sweet and friendly. Always good to the animals, always eager to help with them and learn about them. He especially liked the goats, and he would often come and spend time with me in the goat pen. Sometimes I got the feeling he looked up to me a bit, which was super weird because why would anyone look up to a moron like me? But maybe it’s because I’m not like most of the other grownups, I don’t run around in a hurry, I don’t boss them around. I’m better at listening than talking. I think some kids might appreciate that. But what do I know. In any case, he became sort of a little junior goat herder. He told me he loved animals, but they couldn’t have any where he lived now. I heard that from several kids over the years. They loved animals but lived in places where they couldn’t have any. And Abdul especially loved goats. He told me that his family had had goats back in Afghanistan. But at some point they had to let them go. I guess things became so bad that they couldn’t afford them anymore. That was the only time I really saw Abdul being sad. He was always happy and smiling, only when he talked about his family’s goats I could tell there was sadness in him too. I can’t imagine what it’s like being a kid going through all that kind of stuff. Whenever I hear people with opinions like [my country} First, I can’t help thinking of all the people you’re excluding. The people suffering from incredible oppression, hunger, persecution, war. If you’re looking at what’s going on in Afghanistan and you’re worrying most about what effect it will have on your country, Then maybe you should read your bible again or something. The refugees you don’t want, those are kids like Abdul.
And hey, I don’t have the answers to anything. What do I know about anything. I have been getting more and more depressed about the world and humanity and religion lately. I don’t know how to fix anything. I guess there is no way to fix it. Which is really sad. But I hope Abdul is doing okay. He must be close to grown up now. Maybe he can get a goat farm in the country some day. Imagine all the people.

And now for today’s edition of “Is Sky Bigger Than [Blank]”.
Today: Is Sky bigger than Nuller’s rock?
She is taller, but the rock is definitely wider and heavier.
This has been today’s edition of Is Sky Bigger Than [Blank].
