Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

I may also try to do grilled squid later this week. I think I've still got propane left over from the fall, but the real question is if it's warm enough out for me to stand outside grilling.
