This video has nothing to do with Philip K. Dick, but the context reminded me of the title of the book that inspired Blade Runner. Why? Well, these guys strap Christmas lights to sheep.

When Aiden began crawling, he couldn’t quite coordinate his back legs to work with his arms, so he ended up dragging himself all over. He still got around though. It took a few months for...
