goats (normal).

Published on October 6, 2008 in Uncategorized. 2 Comments

los ange­les is the most mag­i­cal place. a cou­ple of weeks ago the CRA decided to rent some goats from Mon­rovia to take care of a weed prob­lem on the hill by Hill and 4th Street. My brother and I stopped by to feed some nice alfalfa to our hooved friends. Appar­ently a group of busi­ness men joked about roast­ing said ani­mals and the kind shep­ard on duty responded, ” you wouldn’t want to do that. they’ve got poi­son oak all over them.” what a friend. The goats were sup­posed to stay for two weeks but they fin­ished the job early, return­ing to their inland empire home after only four days of cud-chewing. we need goats here ALL the time.
