tomorrow is my last day at work- it's good! we're having a farewell dinner for me at a chinese restaurant tomorrow night, and then next week they are firing up a goat out at the farm- i'd like to spare the goat, but it's an honor, the guys our there in tengeru are pulling out the stoppers and everyone's looking forward to delicious goat, so.... goat's are great for people to cultivate over here anyway- much less destructive to the environment than cows- so it's good to support goat cultivation too. The other day we caught three birds by putting sticky solution on a stick over where they've been devastating our leafy green crops- we were all so excited to catch these rascally birds, and grill them- but when i saw how small helpless and beautiful they were i was a little taken aback. It takes a strong heart to be a farmer.
