On a side note...

Today, along with others in my class, I first observed then participated in neutering goats. (I got to do the biggest one - Got a challenge for ya Anna, my teacher said.) My first surgical procedure of any kind. A little bit nerve-wracking, but cool and surprisingly easy. Experience: Worth a lot.

Being able to yell at some neanderthal sports monkeys of the male variety who were teasing the program dogs in their outside yard - "Hey! I just castrated a goat and if you assholes don't knock that off, you're next!" - Priceless.
