A different thing in the distance

My girlfriend and I were talking about the ridiculousness of people. We were driving from White Cloud Michigan, to Mt.Pleasant…Via back roads…Like there was any other way to get from White Cloud, Hesperia or any other place like that in Michigan- any other way.

We talked about the ridiculousness of people and how stupid it was that there were these people in our lives from the city who would go on and on about seeing deer in the country….

"OH LOOK! A DEER!"

To us it looks like the 3,542 deer we've seen in the past year.

We talked about the absurdity of people taking pictures of livestock on vacation…Like they've never seen sheep before…

That's when the bear crossed in front of us….

He trotted across casually like bear don't and like a man that has been forced to run on all fours in a bear suit does…That's why it completely threw us.

....And this is how badly it threw us…

It was like "Thing one" had just run in front of the car…and we were waiting for "Thing two" to also run across the street so we could verify that "Thing one" was indeed what we saw, because, of course, "Thing two" had just jolted across the same street shortly after….So we weren't seeing illusions however we were seeing "Things"…

We hadn't been drinking, smoking, or eating brownies of unknown origin.

The hell?

But after a good fifteen minutes-after we bandied it back and forth, we decided it was a bear and indeed it had crossed in front of her car and of course….High fives all around because we've lived here all our adult lives and never seen one.

Then we started the realization that we are indeed like those humble souls who see the deer, but of course, we are on a higher and somewhat grittier level…Having been seasoned on the abundant wild life chewing on the flora and fauna that we have planted in our respective front yards.

All in all, it was a good thing…Simply because it helped us get the picture.

We're silly buggers just like the rest of the human race…Running to see the shiny, weird, or different thing in the distance.
