Actually there is an alpaca farm here on San Juan Island, but I don't think their teacher in Oregon knows that. This farm is a bloody nuisance. It's stretched along about a half mile of the road we take to go to town. It's a fairly narrow road, undulating and curvy, with no shoulders and deep ditches (we do get rain here!). They have quite a few alpacas -- several herds of perhaps 50 each. The touristas, and there are billions of them here in the summer, or so it seems, get entranced by seeing the alpacas and stop to photograph them, and of course with no shoulders they park partly in the roadway, so I'm coming barreling along on my way home from work andsip round a curve and there are these d@mn tourists parked right in the road and standing there taking their pictures. I swear I'm going to mow one down some day, and glad to do it. I mean, haven't they ever seen an animal before in their lives?
