Ah, yes.  There are several alpaca farms within a reasonable distance to
us, but the idea has been discounted due to the likelihood of drawing the
attentions of one of my Net640 fellows, David Drummond.  Whilst I do enjoy
David's company during his brief visits, I wouldn't want to extend such to
more often weekend-long sojourns, hereabouts.

Thanks for the thought, though.

Cheers,
Paul.
