Goats

how is it even possible to have goats in your back yard and not have your neighbors even know it? i dont know how, but my odd neighbors have achieved this strange level of secrecy in which owning goats for years without their neighbors knowledge is a category of. what ever happened the good old days, in which i did not exist in but nevertheless, when you knew your neighbors so well it was almost scary, when children just went out side and went on adventures with the neighbor hood kids? what ever happened to the tradition of a block party? i think that our era, speaking as if i say harrumph on a daily basis [and in context, mind you], is so focused on our televison sets, and gosh dern loud music [haha] that we have become so isolated in our own homes. its like the rest of our lives are so open to everyone that the way we keep our sainity and privacy is where most people used to only have a social life, in their own neighborhood. and yes, i did just connect the subject of goats to modern day distractions. sorry that i had to get all 'purposeful' and what not. i personally hate doing it =).
