Good goat times today. A lovely day with a good deal of sunshine. Must have rained overnight though, the ground was wet here and there. I can already feel the mud starting to set in. The goaties are not going be happy about that. Summer is always too short.
I took Mia out of the pen because I had an idea for some filming. The others weren’t happy to be left out. Lots of bleating and running around. And then suddenly Lily was out of the pen. I really don’t know how she got out, the gate was still locked. Huh. I think maybe she ran and jumped up on the rocks and from there jumped on onto the fence and off that and out of the pen. Dang. I hope she didn’t learn how to do it. It would not be good if she was able to escape the pen on her own, and that’s a tricky jump, she could hurt herself. I don’t think she can do it easily though, it was probably because they were so riled up and running around that she got the idea and strength to do it. Sheesh. Hopefully it’s not something she can just reproduce.
We’re gonna need a bigger fence! Never a dull moment.

Here’s Lily after (allegedly) jumping the fence. Haha look at Nuller, standing on the old tire, looking out at her and bleating his outrage that she left him behind. Sassy’s also watching from behind the fence. While Mia is wondering if that guy might have treats for her.

I stopped off at my parents’ place this morning, before goating. Had some computer stuff to help with.
Long overdue. They had a problem that I came to look at like.. months ago. I couldn’t fix it then. And because of my visual impairment it’s really hard for me to do research at their place. Their pc isn’t set up with the assistive aids that mine are.
So I’d gone home to research it. And because of all the health problems and the world burning, it wasn’t until today that I came back. Turns out the problem was really easy to solve. Their computer had somehow been put in tablet mode. Which is a thing Windows 10 has. I’d never really heard of it or dealt with it, which is why I didn’t know that you just had to find a button and click it to put it back to normal mode. I don’t know why you’d have a button to put your desktop pc in tablet mode, but ok. It made a lot of stuff harder for my parents, so I’m glad I could fix that finally.
And they had a problem printing PDF files. Turns out Windows 10 had set Edge as the defult PDF handler and for some reason Edge wouldn’t print. So I set PDF handling back to our PDF reader and that prints fine. Don’t you just love Windows 10? Definitely change our settings to force your own shirty programs on us even though we’ve set it to use something else, definitely do that. That’s handy. I love waking up to find out something is different for not reason. Change is great! I also like chewing on rocks. Big hard volcanic rocks. Hooray!
Anyway. Glad I can be of use to my parents. I feel bad that with all the health problems I can’t be more of a help because of my own problems. I’m more of a burden than a help mostly. But I guess we all just gotta help each other as much as we can.
Both my mom and dad have have hospital/doctor visits this week. Mom is still dealing with the heart stuff and also her eyes, I think she needs cataract surgery, but that’s complicated because of the heart issues ofcourse. And dad is still in a lot of pain and can barely move around. So I hope they’ll get some progress this week. Hoves crossed. If only there was a button in the settings that could fix your heart and take your pain away. Come on science, this is supposed to be the advanced future. You can fake a moon landing but you can’t fix a heart condition? What good are you to us?
Oh sorry. *presses the button that stops Lasse rambling*

Guess who got chastised for not social distancing in the supermarket today?
This guy. I thought I was, but ok…
I was standing in line and the lady in front of me turned around and said “please keep your distance”.
I said “oh I am”.
To wich she replied “No you’re not”.
I pointed to the space between us and said “Aaah..?”.
The funny part is that it was her turn to move forward in the line. Had she just kept facing ahead instead of turning back towards me, she would have gone forward right away and there would have been no problem.
I felt a little better when she got to the cash register and started arguing with the cashier about something else and then said “And on’t forget to give me my free bonnus points”. These bonus points are given out by the cashier to everyone and they ask everyone if they want them. So yeah, that lady seemed like she was reeeal fun to hang around with.
Haha. Well, I don’t wanna judge. Maybe she was having a bad day. Or maybe she’d experienced not getting her bonus points in the past. It does happen sometimes to me that they don’t ask. I don’t know if it’s because I’m blindy or if it’s chasiers who know me and remember that I always say no when they ask if I want them. The other day the cashier asked me if she could give my points to someone else (it’s some kind of bonus thing that gets printed out along with your receipt if you want them). So of course I said yes to that and the lady ahead of me got double pints and everyone was happy.
Anyway. Being that I’m a bit blindy and since I forgot my measuring tape at home, perhaps the distance between us was not 100% correct. So I’m sorry, supermarket lady, if I was in err. And I hope you got your bonus points.

Well congratulations for the President for bravely conquering corona. So fast and easy. Why, it’s like he was never even sick at all. It went so fast that it was almost like a whole day only lasted 10 minutes, as the EXIF date attested to.
I guess he was right all along. The virus is no big deal and practically goes away on its own without any adverse effects. Therer really is no need to even care.
And the hundreds of thousands of dead people must be real losers. They should ashamed of themselves. I guess they just didn’t want to get better. It’s like Trump says about American soldiers who died in wars, they’re real losers. We prefer people who DON’T get killed or caught.
Of course it’s no surprise that Trump beat it so easily. We all know he’s in peak physicaly health. Definitely not obese, as his very creidble doctor attested to.
Remember that doctor? Lulz.
Anyway, glad we’ll get to see Trump back on the golf course, excelling at that physically demanding, athletic endurance test.
Semper fudge!
Now let’s get back to stripping health care from all the losers who don’t have the willpower and iron physique of our glorious leader. If you wanted to get better you’d pay for a helicopter ride to a state-of-the-art facility too, loser!

Trump telling people not to be afraid of covid is like Jesus telling people not to be afraid of crossing the sea by foot.

“Justice Clarence Thomas issued an opinion today that repeatedly attacked the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges – which legalized marriage equality in all 50 states – as unconstitutional because it “bypassed” the “democratic process” and cause people “with sincerely held religious beliefs concerning marriage” to “find it increasingly difficult to participate in society.””
.
Jesus fucking christ. Thoughts and prayers for the poor religious people who find it hard to participate in society because gay people get married. I can only imagine how hard it is to be persecuted like that.
But good thing that Trump, the most holy of holy, can now help free the wedding cake bakers from their long, traumatic nightmare. You know he’s good with god because he’d never grab someone’s dick or barge into an underage guy’s locker room. You haven’t heard him go on about how super sexy his sons are.
It makes me so angry to think that for the next lifetime America is going to be under the rule of this kind of thinking because of their outdate, immoral and abnormal system.
You’re raving about Muslims wanting to impose sharia law, but you’re doing the exact same shit with your religion.

Cautiously optimistic about my dad. He got enother injection and so far it seems to be working better and he was also a lot happier with the doctor he saw this time, apparently this guy seemed a lot more competent and keyed in on the issue. So far there has been improvement, and they told dad he could come straight in to their clinic if things aren’t going well. Instead of the long route through is personal physician and referrals etc. So let’s cross our fingers. My dad has been through a lot the last few months, I really hope things are looking up now.
No substantial news from mom yet, other than they suspect maybe asthma. But lots of stuff there to sort out.

Good goat times today. A cold morning. Down below 10C/50F. That’s when my skin starts hurting. Thankfully it was a pretty sunny day, so it quickly warmed up a little and I got more comfortable. And fun with the goaties. Sweet kids visiting at the fence. Although not the poop troop. But everyone is welcome. Lots of sweet treats and bleats. And some quiet time with Mia. Snoring as she rested her head in my arms. So sweet. Although I was annoyed when I heard the beep from the camera telling me that it was out of battery. Oh well. I couldn’t exactly get up to change it, since I didn’t want to disturb Mia. Sometimes it’s better to just enjoy the moment anyway, and not worry about filming. As the sailor said to the nun.

You know, this is none of my business of course. But if you’re American and you’re not a Trump supporter and you’re considering not voting or writing in Kanye or something like that… I’d just like to suggest that maybe you reconsider and vote for Biden after all. It’s possible that four years from now the Democrats will finally put up a candidate that you can actually love. But are you going to be able to elect them? Look what four years of Trump has done. You think the next election will be easier to win if Trump wins this one? I would imagine there’s a big chance it will be a lot harder. Also, come the next election the Republicans may actually put up a candidate that isn’t the worst person in the world. Unless Trump manages to change the rules and get more terms, or he puts up Ivanka or Eric or whatever. They might actually put up someone likeable or coherent. Maybe someone not controlled by an alien brain-fly.
But you know. Justices, gerrymandering, Trump being able to brag about winning twice, the postal service being completely gone and the pandemic still going on. Whatever. I’m just saying. You might not love Biden, but unless you love Republican policies I really think now would be a good time to dig your heels in. Who even knows what the world will look like in 2035, four years from now.
Now again, it’s none of my business and you absolutely have the right to do whatever you want with your vote. But if you don’t want them to outlaw gay marriage and sterilize immigrants and prosecute babies and.. you know. It could be now or never if you don’t want to continue down that road.
Oh and f you’re a Republican I think it’s important to note that there’s no reason to even vote, voting is for losers, the great glory of god does not need mere mortal voting, just let your faith take the wheel.
Etcetera.
The election isn’t a dating app. You don’t have to find someone you love. You just have to swipe left on the guy who thinks he’s entitled to grab you by the pussy because he hosted a shitty realtiy show.9/10 2020

Haha, look at Milo and Sky in the background. They are not fans of Sassy.
I still don’t know for sure if Sassy is Nuller’s grandma, but speaking of grandmas, she does remind me a little of Mio. In the way that she can be suuuper bossy to other goats, but with humans she is extremely patient and sweet. When I pet her or do annoying things like drumming on her big belly, she just stands there for as long as it takes and enjoys it. The Mio train was the same way.

Good goat times today. Twas a mostly grey day. A little scattered rain here and there. I would have stayed pretty much dry though, if it wasn’t for a little mishap. I guess it rained overnight and a pool of water had gathered on the tarp covering the shelter in the goat pen. I waned to do some filming on the platforms so I went under the shelter to set up my camera on the tripod. And I managed to bump up against the roof and… well down came a big pool of water. Eep. Thankfully it’s not freezing cold. Probably around 15C/60F. So it could have been worse. But i got a taste of how Mia felt last week when she stood on the pilebranch in the rain. A wet back. At least she had sunshine to dry in. I wasn’t so lucky. But thankfully the big splash didn’t hit my camera.
Other than that it was a pretty quiet day. When a little bit of rain started coming in we withdrew to the goat house, all 7 of us. The newb squad in their back room and Mia snuggled up close with her little adoptees Milo and Sky in the front room. They looked so sweet together. And Mia was pretty tired. She started nodding off, resting her head on my leg. So sweet. I held her head and listened to her breathing in and out, turning into snoring periodically. Every now and then her body would twitch. I wonder if goats dream? And if goats dream, I wonder if they ever dream of me.
It was perfect sweet calm and love. All the crazy fun stuff is crazy and fun, but there’s nothing better than just feeling that trust and bond and being quietly together. Not worrying about making content for the page, not fighting for treats or hierarchy, not entertaining visitors. Just being close and content. Website content is nice, a content feeling is nicer.

It’s weird what sticks in your head. Like, I remember the first English lesson I ever had, our English teacher told us a joke that went something like… what did the salad say to the tomato? Lettuce get married. Or, lettuce be friends. Some variation of that. All I know is, whenever I hear or see the word lettuce I think of Bent, our English teacher and being a kid in school.

Another thing that for no good reason just popped into my head: Taking the ferry to go see the grandparents. My grandparents lived on Zealand, we live on Jutland. So we’d have to take the ferry. Because when I was a kid there weren’t bridges. I don’t even know if the ferries still go between Jutland and Zealand? I guess not.
I think it was about 4 hours, something like that. It was kind of an adventure, four hors on a boat. Looking out the windows on the vast and endless sea. I was always a little scared of the ocean. Looking out on the waves, wondering there were whales beneath. Or schools of fish, like in the nature shows on tv. The ocean is like outer space, another world.
And the arcade machines. That was one of my favourite things. Getting change from my parents and feeding it to the arcades. They were pretty simple games, probably Space Invaders and Galaxians and Galaxian and Galaga and stuff like that. But the feel of the analogue stick and those arcadey sounds, with strangers walking back and forth around you.
And the gift shop. We’d always buy this box of candy, it was made of cardboard but it was made to look like a wooden box and it had different kinds of candy in it. Always a favourite.
Sometimes there would be a ball pit that you could play in. Somehow we didn’t die of a pandemic in there.
I can still picture the road my grandparents lived on in my head. Not in exact detail you know, but in feeling. The car going round the corner and down the driveway.

Yeah. Time. You know?

“stand back and stand by” is a completely normal response when asked to condemn white supremacists. Totally. If Obama on national television when asked to condemn Muslim jihadists had told them to stand by, all the good oldfashioned staunch republicans would have been a-okay with it. And if Mexican immigrants used loopholes to not pay taxes, all the religious moral highgrounded Republicans would have praised them for being smart and ressourceful. The suburban moms would have been more than happy to welcome coloured people into their neighbourhoods if they used ficitonal losses to bring down the rent, or whatever I’m not a lawyer.
Jesus christ America should be ashamed and embarrassed. What a shitshow. But hey, i’m sure the rich old white men will take you in the right direction. Everything’s fine. Once the madeup pandemic has killed off the riffraff you’ll be able to afford free haircare for all your realityshow betters.

30/9 2020

On a brighter note, I got a new supply of elderberry soup and flourballs today. My dad and Hans were nice enough to drop by with a new stock. So now I got my little freezer full again. Should last me a couple of weeks.
I am very thankful that Hans is willing to help us with driving my dad around. And that my dad is always eager to help. Unfortunately he’s still not doing so good. Last we talked he was doing a little better, but it seems to be pretty bad again. He had an appointment at the hospital in a months time, but they got it moved up to next week instead. So hopefully there will be some progress then.
I sure do appreciate the elderberries. Did you know in Danish they’re called hyldebær. Which could be translated as shelfberries or praiseberries. Praised be the berries, for they are good.

But to be honest, it was kind of unfair that Biden got to wear a wire so he could have his staff sitting outside feeding him advice like “don’t endorse white supremacy”.
Also, if Biden had been forced to take that drug test I’m sure it would have showed that he’d taken some of those experimental drugs that keeps you from expressing support for white supremacy groups.

Jesus fucking christ. Trump got corona? You can’t make this shit up. The leader or the most powerful country in the world. What more evidence do you need that they haven’t been taking this seriously enough?
If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d claim that it’s all a hoax. Donny will pretend to have the rona for a couple of weeks then come back and say “look I had it and I’m fine, this thing is no big deal, just like I said”. But nah, it makes so much more sense that him and his administration are just incredibly dumb, irresponsible and negligent.
And before anyone says anything about all sides should come together and wish him well and this is no time for bipartishanship and blabla, fuck that. Fuck that hard. This guy had played a big role in letting the virus ruin America. This guy has stood on stage and promised it would be nothing. This guy has stood on stage and mocked his opponent for wearing a mask. This guy does not deserve sympathy. If you can think protesters deserve to be shot because they stay out after curfew then I can think this guy deserves getting sick for ignoring and enabling the disease. I wouild of course never (publically) wish harm on anyone. But I’m not an opposing presidential candidate, I don’t have to publically send well wishes.
I really do wonder what Trump would have done if it had been reversed. If Biden got it. You have to assume, even Trump couldn’t not have wished him well. Surely his people would have withheld his McDonalds burgers until he tweeted “get well Joe”. Of course once he got his burgers he would have gone back to send a tweetstorm about old Joe’s poor health and so on.
God, what a shitshow. 2020 has shit like the new Batman movie has villains. The Joker! The Riddler! Catwoman! The Penguin! Weird clowns! So much evil. Also in the Batman movie.
But thoughts and prayers for Melania. I hope you beat this thing. And by that I refer to your loveless sham of a marriage. I guess we don’t have to worry about their kids, no way their parents have had any physical contact with them. Finally Eric has an upside to never being hugged.
So anyway. I woke up with a big headache and feeling a bit nauseated. Ah well, I’m sure karma’s not going to get me.

And Tuesday is Yogi daY because it’s TongueOutTuesday and Yogi had the funniest flapping tongue. Kamel gets posted on Wednesday because that’s hump day and camels have humps, and so did Kamel. And the rest of the days I pick random old photos from my archive to remember sweet old goat friends from the past.
So that’s what that’s all about.
