Neither!
Neither!
These lived on 1800 acres of wild land. They normally only saw people when we were driving past to get to the ranch house, or when me and my buddy were hiking. Twice a year they were rounded up, branded, counted, and either sold off or let go.
They were rounded up old Western style, by cowboys on horseback, and driven into the pens by the ranch house. It was actually an amazing experience getting to be a part of that as a teenager and young man.
My friend and I would go exploring all over those hills in the summer time, and that’s when the murder cows caught us in the open a few times. Most of the cows didn’t care, but there were a few that we knew by site to run from if we happened upon them. So we’d skedaddle over near a tree or back to the truck if it was close and hope the cow would just wander off and do cow things. It usually just gave us angry looks and bluffs, but a few times it charged us and drove us up the tree. One time we were tree’ed, and were able to scare it off by firing our guns into the air. Good times.
NYC public transit and nightlife is amazing. It’s pretty dirty once you leave the financial district though. Unfortunately I’ve heard that SF is pretty dirty these days too. Is that true? It used to be my most favorite city in the world, but I haven’t been back in 15+ years.
At my last job they assigned one of those to me and never told me. I had already been there about a year when I discovered it. I had like 500 voicemails. Haha.
I greatly prefer messaging, but sometimes I call because it’ll take me 5 minutes to talk on the phone and 25 minutes to get it all hashed out through texts.
Oh yes. Cow body language is very different when they’re curious and when they intend to cause you harm. These ones wanted us wiped from the face of the earth, or at least wiped from their line of sight.
Edit: I should point out that these were free range beef cattle in the foothills, so they’re a lot less friendly than your average dairy cow. They would only see people a few times per year, and they never liked what they got when people came around, so they likely had pretty negative associations with humans.
I grew up visiting my friend’s family’s cattle ranch all the time. The mean ones up there were cows, not bulls. There were a couple that you didn’t want to get caught in the open with. I was chased up a tree a few times. Some cows just want to see the world burn.
Not really, man. Cows are like people, some of them are just assholes. Cows kill hundreds of people every year. If you don’t know a cow’s temperament, don’t put yourself where it can kill you.
Well, should you live there?
I buy DVDs, Blu-ray, and UHD DVDs all the time. Try the thrift store, then Amazon, then eBay.
I was born poor and grew up on welfare. But I’m pretty comfortable now and I’ll tell ya, it feels great! We had to work our asses off to get to this point, make a lot of sacrifices, and even move across the country, but it’s very nice not having to worry about every single expense that comes our way.
Eh, it comes at a cost of only seeing the sun for like 2-3 months per year.
I would if I could!
Don’t forget to apply vibrators to the clitoris for female hysterics.
My city has more water than we can ever use, so I’m going to continue having shower thoughts, tyvm.
Please stahp!
You met a real life Mr. Miyagi!
It’s so beautiful today! I’m wearing shorts and flip flops for the first time in months, and I started working on my bike again now that we may have a period without rain for a while.
I ordered an iPod from Alibaba back in the day and it was most certainly not an iPod. I think they’re more reliable than back then, but who knows. It’s always a gamble ordering from those kinds of sites.
One time I ordered a PS2 kit from some janky-ass Chinese site. The kit converted it into a flip top and included a CD that would let you play burned games. After a couple months of it not showing up, I figured I got ripped off, which I half expected anyways. 3.5 months later the kit showed up at my doorstep and actually worked. Haha! I used that thing for years after making the conversion.
You write all of that in the middle of the night to distract yourself from the guilt which robs you of your sleep, before your heavy medication kicks in. You give it to your social media staff in the morning to post throughout the day.
