United Nations’ scientific panel says climate change could have catastrophic conseques as early as 2040.
Donald Trump says “I think something’s happening. Something’s changing – and it’ll change back again. I don’t think it’s a hoax, I think there’s probably a difference. But I don’t know that it’s man-made.”
So. I guess if we’re alive in 2040 we’ll know if the planet is fucked or if Trump is smart.
Climate change will probably change back again… jesus fucking christ.
I hope our grandchildren will enjoy petting the animatronic animals in the remembrance zoos.

Good goat times today. Lovely weather. Almost summery with the sun. But the greens are almost gone. Took the goats out, but there wasn’t a lot to get. Nibbling here and there. I’m going to miss watching them attack the salad bar. I need it to be spring soon.
Spent more time in the pen. Eating hay (the goats) and cuddling (all of us). Pretty quiet day. Other than the constant pickpocketing. Sheesh.

I didn’t even realise it was a year ago Yogi left us. I hope she’s up there, relaxing with Kamel. Two gentle, food-loving ladies. Purring in the sun. Watching the mini-Yogis that hatched from her rocks. Thank you for making our transition to the new playground a happier one. I wish we’d had more time.

When you want to argue with someone for their own good, but you know it’ll only make things worse.
In other news, a little known fact about me: As a kid I had a crush on BOTH Darlene and Becky. And today I have a crush on John Goodman. I have outgrown the canned-laughter sitcoms, but nostalgia is going to keep me watching The Conners. Now at least I don’t have to look at Roseanne and be sad about the person she turned into offscreen.
Currently debating whether to spend the next 24 hours in bed.
Or perhaps 48.
My head is still not quite on right for social mediaing, so I’m sorry if my replies don’t quite live up to the great love you’re all showing me. I really do appreciate it.
I need to post that picture of Milo trying to chew at Keiko’s art on the back of my shirt. Maybe he was smooching it.
Anyway that’s enough typing I have to go check the inside of my oven for pizza leftovers.

Well, that’s a new one. Usually grandma sits in the goat house. Or under the goat house. But makes sense, I guess. She likes corners. And there’s a bit of sun in that spot. Plus you can see right over to where the humans are, and it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on the humans.

Mia’s beard has gotten a little more pronounced lately. There’s still a long way to go to catch up with grandma’s. But it’s showing more. She’s also being a little bit more bossy with the little ones. They still walk around together a lot, but every now and then they get a little push to remind them that she’s in charge of their little troop of three. Grandma Mio has been withdrawing a little more, usually content to head for a corner in the goat house and sit in a sun ray. Maybe Mia is getting closer to taking over leadership of the flock.

Finally watched Solo in a good, proper copy. Confirmed my first reaction, I really enjoy this movie. Other than the way that Han got his name. And maybe I would have preferred if the whole ’12 parsecs’ thing was just slick Han bulkshirting the hick farmers with technical mumbo jumbo. I didn’t really need to see the Kessel run thing actually explained. I guess that’s one of the most common critiques of the movie, it wasn’t really a story we needed. But it’s a lot of fun. It’s even better after having read the Moving Target book, which gives more details about Han’s upbringing on Corellia and Lady Proxima and Qi’ra. Having read that really improved the beginning of the movie for me.
No one is ever going to come close to Ford, but the new kid does a really good job actually. And I love Glover’s Lando. And Chewie is Chewie. I wish we could get more of their adventures together. Get into the Jabba story. I don’t care what others say, I just want more Star Wars all the time so I don’t have to think about the real world. I wish I still had my eyesight so I could go back and read the old Marvel comics again. I need my telepathic space bunny fix.

I love sleeping. I must have slept hard, my dad came over last night to drop something off and I didn’t even hear him knock. Luckily it fit in the mailbox. I could get addicted to 20+ hour naps. If it wasn’t for the fact that it would get in the way of goat responsibilities. If it wasn’t for the goats I’d just see how long a human can survive sleeping and doing nothing else.

Good goat times today. I had an appointment with the doctor in the morning for the ritual bloodletting. So I was a little later in Goat Town than usual. The kindergarteners were in the midst of their exercise running around the block when I got there. I guess it’s a regular thing that they’re going to keep doing. Poor kids. Thoughts and prayers. As I walked by the bunny cage there was a couple of boys clearly exercising hard by looking at the fluffies. One of the boys saw me and said “look, it’s the goat man”. Haha. I like that. I like being known as the goat man. Better than the human man…
Then I went around the corner and approached the goat pen. The goats were outside already. Eating hay while am other with a couple of kids were admiring them at the fence. I could see Mia, but now her face. So she couldn’t see me either. I managed to sneak up on her. She almost always lets out a big bleat when she sees me. So I wanted to get up real close. And when she turned her head and saw me she brayed with a mouth full of hay. Haha. It’s like an involuntary reaction when she sees me. “IT’S HIM”.
Got our time out in the greens and then some relaxing in the pen. There was a guy doing hammering and sawing and other noisy things in the stables and horse field. So the goats spent an appropriate amount of time staring at him as if he were the devil. Didn’t know the devil was such a handyman.
Now I am the tired.

Got a flu shot today. i think it may be the first one ever. Because I’m in the risk category I get a letter every winter offering me a free flu shot. But I never take it. Because, as you know, I don’t even go to the doctor for a broken rib. But since I was there today anyway, and I’d just gotten the letter a couple of days ago. Might as well. So now I’m invulnerable for this winter, I assume. Wanna play with fire?

Oh by the way, I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but… changing your password is not going to stop scammers duplicating your profile. They don’t need to hack you to clone your profile. They just need to download your profile picture and create a new account with your name. You have not been hacked just because your account is cloned. You have not been hacked if you receive friend requests from cloned accounts.Even if you were to accept a friend request from a scammer, they would slill only have access to stuff that you share with your friends. I’m your friend, I can’t access your credit card or email inbox or anything like that.
So. Calm it with the chain letters. Don’t accept friend requests from people you’re already friends with. Change your password if you’re worried, but you don’t have to change it every time someone clones your profile or you get a chain mail.

Got a reply back from my doc. My B12 levels are good. So that’s great, that means I can keep taking tablets and I don’t have to get injections. I’m relieved about that. My blood sugar is up, though. Which is bad. I’m not surprised really, I have been living poorly and putting on weight because The World And Everything. I really have to get that under control.
Now I’m off to exercise, thoughts and prayers.

I got out the wellness quilt for the first time last night. I’ve been using just the duvet cover up until now, but the cold is catching up.
But oh my. I forgot how utterly wondeful that thing feels. It’s so soft and warm and comfy. It’s like going to sleep in a mug of hot chocolate stuffed to the brim with marshmallows. Mmm. I think I’ll cancel my Russian mailorder bride, I don’t need anything else in my bed than that quilt.
Had good dreams too. The last one included Her. It was Christmas eve, it was night and raining. I went shopping in Favorit, the supermarket where I did all my shopping as a kid. Later on they changed their name and eventually shut down completely, but I went on so many trips to Favorit back in the day,
It turned into on of those dreams I have regularly. Where I walk around some store and I fill my basket with a constant stream of candy, chocolate, cake, toffee etc. Stupid brain. But She was there too. We said hello. Then I went home. And realised, maybe She was alone on Christmas too. So I wanted to go back to Favorit. To buy more candy, and maybe run into her again. And then I wake up. I ain’t even mad, that quilt makes it all worthwhile.

Don’t worry, it’s probably Fake News. It’s not like we’ll be around in 20 years to find out, right? And our kids? Well, imagine how exciting it will be for them to colonize Mars.
Don’t worry about the climate, just keep the corporations happy. Burn that coal! I’m sure the oxygen will trickle down to the masses along with all profits. Let all the walking dinosaurs eat you while they sink in the tar pits.

Good goat times today. A cool morning, but not too cold. The temperatures have gone up a little, just a tad. Makes it nicer to head out in the morning. Maybe it’ll make the greens last a little longer? Most of it is already turning yellow. But there’s still good vegetation for the goats to get. We ended up behind the bike shed again. And Mio found out that there was a little path leading upwards to a whole new place. A parking lot connected to the residential area next to the playground. So the goats trimmed the trees there for a little, before I got them back. We moved on a little, but then Mio found another path upwards through the trees. This one lead to a green are next to an apartment block in that residential area. We’ve never been there before so there were some good, untouched greens there. But I got a little worried, since technically speaking we had now left the playground and we were kind of trespassing. There might be people with dogs or people who’d object to goats eating their greens. So I wanted to get the goats back down where we belonged. But grandma Mio was having none of that. She refused to budge. Nothing worked. Even the last resort I usually have when the goats don’t want to follow me. My can of pumpkin seeds. If I rattle that then they all follow me. Usually. But grandma wasn’t fooled this time. On my way there this morning I was listening to the Esther audiobook and they have a similar thing, a box of mints. When they rattle that then Esther always comes running. That’s usually how my pumpkin seed can works. Actually Mio reminds me a little of Esther. They are both very large ladies (although Esther is considerably bigger at the end of the day) and they’re both extremely smart and strong willed. And hilarious.
Well, I ended up having to push and pull Mio to get her back down. I felt really bad about doing that, but I was getting nervous having them up there. Mio was not happy, as you cna imagine. You might have seen that death glare she has sometimes. She stared at me like “how very dare you even exist, I can’t even stand looking at you but I have to so you can see how much you disgust me”. Aw granny . She was so upset that she didn’t even want to eat ALL THE GREENS THAT WERE RIGHT THERE IN THE SPOT WHERE SHE WAS NOW WHICH WAS NOT OUT OF BOUNDS. Like she was on hunger strike because of the unfairness. Of course hunger strikes don’t last long when eating is your favourite thing to do, so she got back to eating greens down where we were, along with the others. And she didn’t seem to hold grudge for long, she got treats and I got cuddles later on. Wait, maybe I should check my backpack to see if she dropped goat berries in there while I wasn’t looking…
Yeah, humans are so annoying.

This is the first path up through the trees. You can see the parking lot in the background. It wasn’t too hard getting the goats back down from here, probably because there were fewer greens. And cars are scary.

Hmm, maybe I should get an apartment there. It would be literally 30 seconds from out the door, past the treeline, down a slope and I’d be at the playground. Considerably easier than the 45 minute to an hour walk I have to do now in the morning.

It’s actually a broomstick that I brought to clean goat berries off the platforms (Since apparently pooping on the platforms is more fun that pooping in the grass. I can just imagine them with a smirk on their face thinking ‘wait till uncle sees this mess’). But turned out it almost works as a brush too. Mia seemed to enjoy getting a sweeping. I gotta get me a proper goat brush.
