Twenty-two ear-tag IDs. Eleven property addresses. One handwritten chore-rotation spreadsheet on file with the White County Cooperative Extension Office. The goats, it turns out, have been working from a roster.
These twelve birds, photographed across a single 90-minute walk down Bruckenstrasse on Tuesday morning, have arrived at a state of public-square repose that, in the view of this publication, the rest of us could learn from.
The bear arrives at the Holiday Inn Express hedge at approximately 4:47 a.m. most mornings and departs for dumpster work at approximately 11:20 p.m. This is not a bear in transit. This is a bear with an address.
