*might* have MORE fresh-killed curried goat
.
.
as we *speak*
landlord engaged
in a HEAT-ed argument
..with another neighbor
neighbor hasn't been tie-ing up his goats
...goats came in *our* yard
&
ate one of landlords gungo pea bushes/trees
those goats can MASH-UP plants, crops, etc in quick-quick fashion
* sigh *
:-(
have heard *similar* arguments/stories
about untied goats, and/or free-roaming dogs
sometimes,
mysteriously
goats die or disappear
dogs same way
.
.
FREE-range NOT always a good idea, eh
.
.
likkle more

Fresh curried goat sounds great. Hope the heated argument cools down.
Did you find your way up to Red Dragon in Red Ground when you were wandering the other day?
The jerk pork is HOT & delicious and a nice cool beer goes well with the hot pork.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
