Mountain goats on the Diga Del Cingino dam in Italy

It beggars belief what these fellers can climb on.

  2. Once there was a silly old ram
    Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
    No one could make that ram, scram
    He kept buttin' that dam

    But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
    He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes


    My father bought a reel to reel tape recorder when they first became available — it replaced a wind up gramophone, so it was considered space age technology. The free tape provided by the vendor (this was before media piracy had been invented) held the Frank Sinatra version of that Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen song, which is burned into my circuits from repeated playing.

    Looking at the pictures of the goats on the dam, a single word comes to mind: "Why?"

  4. I like how they're standing casually, too, like we all would if we were standing around on the street together.

  6. Yeah!

    It is astounding, though, these fokkers are walking around on finger-wide ledges like it's a lawn.
