Interlude II

"Maybe humans are like goats, they have an instinct to try to get to the highest point and see the view. Some have the instinct more strongly than others."
- Mike Dillon, when asked about what it was like to have scaled Mt Everest several times and never reached the summit. Well said!

mike dillon shouldn't feel too bad about failing to summit as we've seen what happens when climbers have their eyes too squarely on the prize (e.g. falling through crevasses, losing limbs, leaving fellow climbers to die...)

What a gorgeous moutnain goat! Definitely a power animal... cute, funny call that sounds like it's laughing at you, fuzzy, gives milk and hair for clothing, is stubborn and has horns-what's not to love?

I think some people also look like goats. Re: Tom Waits has a goat/babboon thing happening for me but is also handsome in an unconventional (not in a Hugh Laurie) kind of way... And he's a cack!

yep, he's a beauty isn't he? if you want to check out more cute images of mountain goats, i came across a really cute site called imagesofcolorado.com or something like that.

... mmm, definitely a power animal too. and picking up where serenity now left off, i think your average goat would be much more selfless than some other climbers out there too.
