Billy goat not gruff about his responsibilities
Chi-dooh Li, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
I was fascinated by news from Seattle City Light that a herd of goats would be deployed this week in the Maple Leaf neighborhood to perform some "environmentally sustainable vegetation management." That's bureaucratic gobbledygook for clearing up unwanted brush without using obnoxious fuel-consuming, smoke-spewing, noise-making mechanical devices.

RABBIT
The alarm goes off at four in the morning—before sunrise and the joggers hit the parks and woods. I ride my bicycle down Boren Avenue toward Lake Union, turning at the Greyhound station, past two prostitutes, one white, one brown, both young, who shout: "Hey honey! Hey there, baby! Hey! Hey!" The lightening sky is pretty, the breeze clears my head, and I am biking along Westlake Avenue, headed to Woodland Park, to shoot a rabbit.
