RIPs

•Ruby Dee, actress, activist, partner to Ossie Davis for decades, great lady.
•Eli Wallach, actor, chewed scenery in many iconic movies, such as "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and "The Magnificent Seven," but one almost no-one has seen his turn as a head in a barrel of oil (his body has dissolved away) in a martial arts film conceived by Bruce Lee, who died before he could star in it -- it's called "Circle of Iron."

Goats at Work

There are at least three goats in this picture. See that wall of green at the back? That's what the whole area looked like -- an impenetrable jungle. Not to goats, though -- they just started eating.

Lots of trash was found, as well as many loose stumps and a few logs and stomped-down remnants of a wire fence with barbed wire on top. Tillman is going to help me take away the brush piles left by the goats (just branches and sticks too big for the goats to eat). There are massive vines hanging off the trees where they cut the lower parts for the goats to eat. The hope is that the vines will die and eventually drop off the trees (and not kill them).

I'm probably going to have to have someone come regularly for basic maintenance -- I don't have the tools, knowledge, or strength to beat back a jungle every month.

At least now I can run a line from corner to corner and see what I've got. I'm pleased with the goats.
