Sure wish someone around here rented out goats. Lots of rain this year = lots of weeds!

I know. I’m thinking of some areas right now where they would be pretty handy!

Glad the Hopeful Weekend Links are back. Love the story on Goats. I want to raise goats soooo bad, but they have to be 300 feet from any dwelling which is impossible in the city.
On a related topic, does anybody know if ducks are better about eating bugs in the garden while leaving the vegetables alone?
RE the ABA article, I may take that plunge soon. For me it is the moral aspect (Warning: graphic image here: http://projectcongo.org/warinthecongo.html). On a related note, I’m not sharing this with friends or coworkers, because it’s a little embarrassing, but since none of you know me: I’ve got my secretary looking in to a way to block/filter all websites on my computer at work except for a half a dozen I need for work. Too much of a distraction and time waster.

Thanks for including my Emergency Kit link. Everyone should have one, even if you don’t live in an Earthquake Zone.
