Goat Evolution
As some of you know, I have a mild, perfectly normal interest in goats. Yes, I explored the concept of a fully functional pack goat and concluded its awesomeness would surpass the awesomeness of a fully functional Death Star.

No matter what an individual’s feeling on the powdery white stuff is,last week’s “wintery mix” was a mess. Though I must admit that there was a […]
