When I was growing up in the early 70's, there was a couple that lived in our little town. They were known either as "odd", "eccentric" or "those filthy bums", depending on who was doing the talking. They lived in a large old ramshackle farm house dating from the late 1800's, when people still farmed in the Adirondacks. IIRC, the house was an inheritance from his side. I never saw it myself, but they tell me the roof leaked terribly, so the odd couple simply pitched a large WW2 surplus tent in the living room and lived in it.



What I did see myself was their car. It was a large station wagon from the early 60's. Besides the smoke screen of burning oil it left when running, it's most distinctive feature was the smoke stack out the back. That and the goats. The smoke stack was from the woodstove they had in back seat to provide heat. Apparently the cars heater was inop. The goats were in the car because that's where they lived. Now, we've had goats for over 20 years, and I admit I've had a kid or doe in the back of a truck or even the suburban. But they didn't LIVE in my vehicle. I thought is was all tall tales until they pulled into a gas station one day and there it all was, big as life. I'm pretty sure the goats had bathed more recently than the human part of the equation.

I always felt bad for those goats.
