My classes are feeling never-ending. I just want these last two weeks to be done. And then I’ll be finished, and no more worthless papers.
Today’s Exploit:
I made a friend.
And it wasn’t a tortoise or cow or fuzzy red ant, which, by the way, I have learned are actually wingless wasps and REALLY nasty.
Ashley is from Florida. She is staying with the company man and she is going to run a marathon in November.
We went walking because she forgot her running shoes.
On this walk we came across a bull in the road. On the other side of the fence was another, much younger bull.
We slowed down and I yelled at them so that the one in the road would move. It did, about 10 feet further down the road.
After about 3.2 repeats of this process Ashley decided that the bull might charge us and wanted to be prepared. She found a large hunk of wood and carried it with her for the next half mile while we tried to convince the bull to leave the road long enough for us to walk by. I am not sure why this seemed like it would be a good idea. She claimed that her grandparents owned a ranch. But I didn’t think the bull was going to charge us, either.
Eventually we made it to the gate and she thought it was safe to drop the hunk of wood.
The bull decided to leave the road long enough for us to pass on the way back, but the cows on the other side of the fence thought it would be funny to run down the fence line just far enough ahead of us that we were in a dust cloud for half a mile.
When we finally left the dust cloud behind, Ashley decided that her shoes hurt her feet and took them off. She walked 1.24 miles back to the rig in her socks.
Thankfully she didn’t step on any of those nasty fuzzy red ants/wasps.
