Capre in Capri

Some stubby-legged (pygmy?) goats we met in Capri this past weekend, up on the cliffs where Tiberius had his palace & threw people into the sea.

We also made friends with some water buffalo not to far south from there on the mainland where they make mozzarella (note one using the others horn as a chinrest in the second photo & also the styling buffalo with the blonde toupee standing over them).

Man in goat suit seen living among goats in Utah mountains

Coty Creighton, 33, spotted the goat man Sunday during his hike. He said he came across the herd, but noticed something odd about one goat that was trailing behind the rest.

“I thought maybe it was injured,” Creighton said Friday. “It just looked odd.”

He said he pulled out binoculars to get a closer look at the herd about 200 yards away and was shocked. The man appeared to be acting like a goat while wearing the crudely made costume, which had fake horns and a cloth mask with cut-out eye holes, Creighton said.

“I thought, ‘What is this guy doing?’ ” Creighton said. “He was actually on his hands and knees. He was climbing over rocks and bushes and pretty rough terrain on a steep hillside.”

Creighton said the man occasionally pulled up his mask, apparently trying to navigate the rocky terrain. The man then appeared to spot Creighton.

“He just stopped in his tracks and froze,” he said.

Guest post from One Pig (yes, we like pigs too)

«One Pig is actually the result of Herbert tracking a singular pig’s life – the pig’s noises, its death, the blood being drained from its body, and as well, the body being cut apart and then consumed. Herbert even partook in the eating of said pig and subsequently used the pig’s body to create instruments for the live show.»

Leadbelly’s newborn

In the absence of our own, we live vicariously through Logo & Leadbelly’s:

baby Tigrayan goat that crossed our path in Ethiopia

It was as soft and light as charmin tissue paper.

Malawian Goat Owner

Jess and I have been traveling through Tanzania and Malawi and have seen lots of goats. I haven’t posted any so far, suffice to say the woman on the right in this photo is the proud owner of a goat that was kicking and bleating from beneath from the seat.

We visited some goat farmers in Malawi though, so hopefully I’ll have some pics of real goats to post once I catch up with blogging on 5cense.com. And we might even be living with some goats soon, so keep the faith!
