The goat came up due to the Maricopa County connection, I guess this one came from "artificial intelligence"? :confuzzled: Sure didn't come from the other term!

I think I know what it means. Something in my deep, deep subconscious, in a lifetime far, far away, hints at the meaning. :shock:

Fun bit of trivia - The music for Chess was written by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson (the "BB" in ABBA) and the lyrics by Tim Rice (Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John, Disney, etc.)

No, I don't know but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. :shrug: Ya know, there are 24/7 convenience that sell bananas. That would have been a safer/sane option, I think, than putting a metal can up there. (but I am no expert -- I've never had anything inserted in my bunghole). But now I am getting nasty and I feel dirty and need to take a shower and wash my hair.

Ok. I am sitting in my mother’s hospital room. She’s been taken downstairs for a CT scan and I’m in her room alone laughing like a hyena. Thanks a lot.

It's always fun to see mountain goats, but they aren't native to the Olympic Peninsula and should never have been introduced there.

That's all well and good, but until you find a way to get the smell out of the helicopter, you can move your own damn mountain goats. :cantlook:

Cougars do a decent job of thinning the herd and cougars ARE endemic to the Olympic Peninsula.

I briefly wondered why the Park Service doesn't use salt blocks, but they anticipated that question:
Why can't the park use salt blocks for long-term management? Placing salt blocks strategically to attract mountain goats away from areas of high visitor use or sensitive habitats would not meet the plan/EIS objectives. Mountain goats would continue to impact natural resources and human safety in the park.
