Not so Backward

I have mentioned that, wandering about this Northern Emirate, one sees flocks of goats walking on two legs stripping the foliage off the lower parts of the trees and shrubs, or removing the top layer from the garbage bins.

Today, however, I saw my first goatherd. Rather than trudging along with a crook, he was mounted on an off-road motorcycle. Which is certainly a better way to herd the goats.

If rather less carbon-efficient.
