happy chinese lunar new year 2015
apparently
there is some controversy.
is this
the year of
the sheep,
the ram,
or
the goat?
opinions differ
but
everyone agrees
on one thing
it’s a horned animal
of some sort
and
it
looks like
these two
either
started early
or
wandered in
from an
extended
mardi gras
celebration.
