I was paging you on parenting, but told to try here.

I must hear your story about the goat and the motorcycle.

Hey, sorry I missed you, work got in the way of bumping. I was riding on a motorcycle taxi with a full pack of stuff on my back carrying my required helmet in my hands () when a wayward pack of goats ran across the road in front of us. My driver swerved, but we ended up hitting a goat (he wasn't injured) and sliding down the dirt hill. My driver was more banged up then I was but I cleaned us off with my nalgene of boiled water. My pants were ripped apart and the local people were very concerned about me...I got a lot of "yovo (white person) Ca va? I patched my pants when I got to where I was going and was no worse for wear with the exception of a huge purple scar that has just now faded to skin color (7 years).

Did the goat mock you? Because I swear there were times when I fell off my horse that he'd give me the side eye.

I wonder if goats have that ability.

I am so glad the goat was unharmed! I was worried he'd be hurt which would make the story terrible, not hilarious.
