The Goat/Customs thing had my mind boggled. It is a cute goat though. The bark pattern would make a beautiful knitting pattern. I wonder if it would work with socks. John,

(Presumably this is because they want to keep out diseases like foot-and-mouth, mad cow, etc.) If you check "Yes" to any of the questions on the form, you will be forced through Homeland Security bureaucracy hell. So I checked "No," but I thought of this goat when I did and felt a little guilty for kind of fibbing.

It's amazing! The green unfurling "thing" looks a lot like a fiddlehead fern. They'll be opening around here anytime and we love to saute them with a bit of garlic. :O) I've enjoyed your posts from Japan. I don't understand the goat/customs nightmare connection, though.
