Goats being hired
Goats are being hired to do the work of men in a neighborhood outside of San Diego. The fires that occurred ih the neighborhiid four years ago burned thirty homes. Most of the homes have been rebuult. While cintractors were rebuilding the homes,nature was re-growing the grass,bushes,and shrubs. The area is once again overgrown with brush that poses a major fire hazard. The city ciuncil asked for bids ti remove the brush. The lowest bid they received was $50000. And that was if the city privided breakfast and lunch fir the work crews for six weeks. The city countered and ofdered unlimited coffee and a doughnut a day for each crew member. When that offer was rejected,the city asked for help on its website. A sheep herder in Montana and a goat herder in San Bernardino read about the city's plight. They read about it while surfing the web on their laptops. They both offered to do the job fir $25000. The councik chose the goat herder because he lived closer. If all goes well,they will invite the goat herder and his goats bacj evert three years. The goat herder said he willpribablt visir San Diego while his goat are working. "I want ti take one of those hang gliger rides. I just hope we don't crash. My goats would end up missing me a lot," he said
