he would cut a slit in the leg of the goat and blow air into it. He would blow very hard to inflate the goatskin like a baloon. And then, he only had to gently draw the knife across the goatskin to make it split open. It is conceivable for someone to blow a duck (such as fo...
I think that's what kept me going — because if this wasn't fun, I would not even be here. But it was scrappy and fun, and it was with my friends. It didn't feel dire. I was also just working at a coffee shop, and I was a nanny, and I was working at a donut shop. I ...
