They’ll Let Any Old Goat In Here

A normal goat - reuters picture

I’m inside Hyde Park watching the women’s Triathlon.
The place is a fortress.
There are barriers and road blocks and soldiers and metal detectors and high wire fences and rules posted everywhere.
Nothing can get in here.
Then I see this goat.
Tied to a tree. Pooping.

I’m sure this goat is part of some sort of ceremony – though maybe it’s a sacrifice by some country.

But in the middle of everything, it looks pretty silly.
Now I wish I could actually show you this goat, but among the many rules, is I can’t take pictures of the goat – or anything else in this venue.
So this image of your average goat – which we do have rights to – will have to do.
Though truth be known, they could be the same goat.
I’m assuming it does get around, since it ended up tied to a tree, pooping,here.
