goats (normal).

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.

things to think about in LA (home)

I moved back to LA to be a gardener here and write about it too! So this nice blog will now be known as una(LA)ska. Here it is a heat-wave and the crisis of a beginning. I am trying to be the next Jane Jacobs, manifest destiny style.
