Trivially Speaking: Let’s wrangle up a look at the history of blue jeans
In the 1940s and ’50s when blue jeans were on their climb to teen necessities, chain department stores such as J.C. Penney's and “Monkey” (yes, that was a midwestern term) Wards had their own brands. They were slightly cheaper than the name brands such as Lee Jeans (my favorite) and Levis (not available in our small town). Nor were Wrangler Jeans,...

![People walking their dog walk past fields of grazing goats doing fire mitigation work in Dutch Creek Open Space in Louisville, Colorado on May 22, 2024. The goats belong to Goat Green LLC, a company that specializes in using Cashmere goats for fire prevention and weed control. Both Louisville and Superior are using goats as tools for fire prevention as well as weed control. Goats have insatiable appetites, and devour weeds, bushes, low hanging leaves, and dry brush all of which are fuel for fires. Among the myriad of things goats do they help to minimize fire danger and sequester more carbon, are a cost effective way to reduce fire fuels with a comparably small footprint, they are able to reduce undesired plants such as bindweed, poison oak, cheatgrass biomass and invasive honeysuckle and help increase plant species richness. They also are like camels in that they require very little water. As the goats eat they create natural firebreaks that help to prevent and slow down wildfires. Additionally, the goats' grazing activities promote the growth of fresh, green vegetation, which is less likely to catch fire and can act as a fire-resistant barrier. (Photo by Helen H.
