PETTING ZOO

 Guest photographer Kurt Ingham documented yours truly when we stopped at an ad hoc petting zoo. It was erected in a parking lot to lure jack-o-lantern pumpkin buyers for Halloween, as livestock remains a rare draw in the inner city. He observed that the alpacas had faces like fashion models. We both agreed Babe and Eeyore were the friendliest, as they still liked us long after the food for them had run out.
