Darbury and I had a lot of fun at The Lands Council (TLC) gala in Spokane last weekend. This is a good group as it's refreshing to see environmentalists work with commerical loggers. TLC plants a lot of trees in Spokane. They also work with loggers advocating sustainable forest management. According to the presentation, it's a win / win for the economy and environment. Timber company leaders were in attendence supporting TLC.
Eddie Vedder donated his canoe that transported him around the shores of West Seattle for many years. Bob Whittaker arranged this and that's him with me by the vessel. Eddie also donated a ukelele. I also got to see Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown, whom I have known for many years.
Congratulations to The Lands Council for a successful event.

Vespasian the friendly goat has passed away. He had the most outgoing of personalities and was engaging until the end. It came all of a sudden, the guy was down and no longer himself. I could see the end was soon approaching and set him up for comfort through the transition. I've seen this before in other goats — they get so old and, one day pass quickly.
It was the early '10s when Vespasian came our way. A person knew I took care of goats and asked me if I wanted to adopt another. I declined. He then said, "OK, they're gonna shoot him." What!😮 I was informed the goat had jumped through a window and chewed on a mattress, ruining it. Somehow, Vespasian got a chance and made it to my place.
The guy brought the goat over and our new four hooved friend fit right in with the other creatures in the "Goatel". Vespasian was remarkable at how outgoing he was. He was chill around people and had human-like qualities. Below is the video for Giants in the Trees "Star Machine" — Vespasian is the star of the video. Notice how he basically fits in with the band. It's amazing that no training or conditioning was needed for him to walk perfectly with us.
Vespasian is immortalized in video!
