When I lived in the Oakland hills, my neighbor had put up a temporary fence and had goats clearing brush around his house.

I had to go out and do it around our house once a year, subsequent to a nice note the fire department would leave. I used to find interesting critters. One year, I met a tarantula, and I explained to it that we'd do just fine together if it went in one direction and I went in the other.

I much prefer living in the flat lands.
