The Nile
Look, I told you already. I do NOT have a drinking problem.
No problem at all
My uncle Jens has been visiting my parents this weekend. He has a car. With a trunk. So they volunteered to haul a bunch of sodas for me. I swear, they offered. It wasn’t my idea. But now I won’t be thirsty for, oh let’s say a week or so.
Other than that nothing terribly interesting going on. I am still coughing. But less snotty. Almost back to normal. And the weather has cooled down a little. We had thunder and rain. So my plan is obviously working out. Today Gellerup, tomorrow the world. They won’t know what hit them. Mwahaha. Sorry, too much Austin Powers. I love Dr Evil, I do.

Hay, hay! How is Uncle Jens, by the way? Hope he is doing okay.
That’s enough drinks for a nice party. I’m free! We’ll have icy drinks and watch goat videos all night long.
It was hot today. 88 F (that’s 31 C) and humid. I went out to play with the goatzies and Snickers. We ended up trimming goatzie hooves, too.
Snickers, John Boy, Billy, and Frankie were trading insults to each other thru the fence before hoof trimming. We decided to let them mingle together while we were out in the pen.
Frankie snuck by Snickers into her penned-in area and Snickers went into the goats pen. No more insults were traded. Everyone got along for once. It’s a miracle.
Actually, I think it was because it was so warm and humid. No one had enough energy to run after anyone else! Including us. We did not go for walkies tonight, but brushed all the critters, gave out fresh water and hay for all. (Plus scratches for all).
LuisLemmings: according to the media, it looks like the whole state of CA is on fire. (Sort of like the whole state of Iowa was underwater). I realize both things are not true, but sure feel for those affected in CA. Are you having much smoke/haze from the fires in your area?

Debster – Uncle Jens is doing very well, thank you.
Should be enough for a party, those bottles in the foreground are Party Brus.
31C. that’d kill me. I don’t like that humidly heat. It’s been like that here, although not 31 thankfully. And it feels like the rain has cleared up the air a bit. Funny, you’d think rain would make it MORE humid. Feels nicer though.
Your camera doesn’t make videos, right? I’d love to see Snickers and the goats running around. Maybe I’ll get you a camcorder for christmas. Oh and on a completely unrelated note, can I borrow a thousand bucks? In time for christmas, preferably.

I don’t think it makes videos? I’m sure my husband has thrown away the manual anyhow. Mmmm…where did I just see that thousand bucks I had lying around?
Tonight was too hot again for the donkey/goat chase. Everyone was pretty well-behaved.
The goats did get to go for a short walk tonight. While my husband was watching them, I got hay in everyone’s feed bunk and fresh water ready for when they returned.
The flys and gnats have been so bad (probably due to the flooding). I’ve been spraying Snickers legs with a cintronella spray. She doesn’t mind it, but it sure gets the goats attention.
John Boy is like: “What are you doing to my legs”? Frankie doesn’t care, and Billy just wants to smell my breath and see what I had for supper!
