Good Goat Karma

Never underestimate the overwhelming effect of karma. Now I'm not one to believe that karma is some mystical force that rewards good and punishes bad, but I do think that positive actions lead to positive results and bad or negative circumstances don't result in good measures.

Seneca Falls, NY is largely made of wineries. I guess its the perfect location for grapes to grow and wine to be made. Whats even better is that you can go to these wineries, pay $1, and taste about 8-10 glasses delicious wine.

Sometimes during school, you don't feel like going and sitting in class all day, especially during the summer. What makes attendance even harder are the wineries. One could skip class all day to drive around and drink wine. That's what Curt and I did one day.

It was probably about our 7th winery of the afternoon, feeling pretty good, when we pull up to a brand new winery. I like goats, so as soon as we pull up I notice two mini goats on ropes attached to cinder blocks in the front yard. Curt and I go over and try to pet the goats, but the goats make their goat noise to say "Don't pet us, we will eat your fingers". We go inside, enjoy some tasty wines, and leave. On the way out to the car we notice the goats have somehow wrapped themselves together on their short ropes and can hardly move around to graze on grass and eat trash and do whatever else goats like to do. I look at Curt, Curt looks at me and we know what we have to do...free the goats. We go over and stick our hands out to let the animals get our scent, but they just kinda looked at us with sad goat eyes. Curt and I spend about 20 minutes untangeling the goats (we were pretty wasted) and left.

I can't remember any exact instances, but I know I had a great week that week. Everything went my way...good grades, good times, good friends...good goat karma.
