The best that this writer can ascertain is that it appears that the stony birds didn't migrate to Pittsburgh until the mid-1990s. It's probably safe to assume that they did, however, arrive naked. I am the goose's seamstress.
Nobody wants a naked goose.
When I was 18, I won a scholarship for sewing, and like an idiot, I didn't take it. I never wanted to make sewing a job, but I did. I have no idea how this goose thing got started, why people dress geese. From what I understand, people used to use geese out near the railways, but I don't know why. I've seen geese dressed up in Ohio for 10 years.
