Tooling down Evergreen Parkway one afternoon, a
good citizen stopped to pick up what he took for a bag of trash thoughtlessly
discarded on the side of the road near Pine Crest Drive. As it turns out, he
was both right and wrong. Instead of unanswered credit card come-ons and empty
Lunchables containers, the plastic grocery bag contained the severed head of a
goat. Alarmed, the fellow summoned a sheriff’s deputy who, rather than trying
to ascertain the unfortunate creature’s identity or locate its next of kin,
found a final resting place for its grisly remains at the Mountain Substation.
