"You want adventure. Every fiber of your being is screaming for it. Where do you find it? You find it in the voluntary adoption of responsibility." -- Jordan Peterson And some additional context to add is that the priorities for responsibility start with and for yourself. The deer in the neighborhood have become tame, quite tame. I think we are at the point where I can train them to eat from my hand. I dont feed them, but it is clear others in the neighborhood are feeding them. I am questioning whether it is right or wrong. It is not as simple as what you might initially think, running through loops of listening to the mezmoring voice David Attenborough anthropomorphising wildlife. Or what you learned as you slammed into a deer with your car. It's not that clear. The deer are not running out in front of cars in the neighborhood. They act more like the neighborhood geese, having full reign of the lawns, driveways and streets. We had a goose that demanded sovereignt...

I just finished watching NOVA The Elegant Universe” . I love that stuff. Although I cannot understand the equations it is fascinating to think about “who lives in these other dimensions?” Do they exist? If they do, how can we prove that by experiment? The theory of everything may exist right now. We just can’t truly understand it in a real world comparison or model. Pretty cool stuff. It was great letting the llamas into their new pasture. I found it to be a bigger relief than I expected. Things bug us all. We are masters at suppression. The small llama environment bugged me. It has been fun watching them test their new environment. Professor the Alpha seems to have a harder time than the others. He has been confused of how to get into the new pasture when he sees his buddies there. One of the great things about having animals is using them as a model for understanding human behaviors. I think it also the same thing as "Farm sense". Aries posed for me. Can you see his ...

I am getting there with the fence. I still have to tweak it, but I am getting there. It has been well into the 90s here today. We have to pace ourselves and I took a long siesta with the fan going. I am not sure how the folks in Florida deal with this all the time. I am going to go rig up some temporary gates and let the llamas out. "Chuka Chuka. Who let the llamas out?" Well maybe not the ideal lyric.

I am gaining on the fence. These pics were taken Saturday. You can see the llama house is moved and the holes are done. I rented a 35 pound demolition hammer to clear out what I thought was shale in the ones I couldn’t get the auger through. In a few I did find however some concrete slab from the old house. That made the job go a little slower since I was cutting through 8 inches of concrete with the small hammer. I would have rented a 60 pound jack hammer if I had known. I am taking Monday off. I will have it ready for animals on Monday I hope. Some tweaks will be left and the gates to make, but the animals will have more room. I stopped over at the Labar's the other night to take some pics of some horses (hor-sees’). This little guy is about 4 days old.
