I just got to work and opened my e-mail, as I do every morning.

I sorted through the spam and assorted automated messages from the archdiocese and the NCEA.

A GOATHERD, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night. The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains.

The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them,

The site with the full story appears to be selling goats.

Do you need one? Angora comes from goats, maybe Francine could use one.

I grew up raising goats.
Goats are good people.
