I have a goal, so I have started walking. My job has 18 buildings in one location so we call it a base or some say campus, the point is it's about 2 square miles.
Today, I walked a path from my building to another which is about 1.5 miles round trip, up a hill and back. I did it alone, I was supposed to walk with someone but we got our times crossed. I left my earphones at home, so I walked with nothing but the music that plays constantly in my head!
On my way back a truck pulls up alongside of me and dude says, 'there is a snake crossing the road up ahead!' In my head I screamed 'Motherfucker, why didn't you run it over?!?!?' WTF, are we running a snake preservation here?! So we both look in the direction he's pointing (THE DIRECTION I'M HEADED and have to go in order to get back to my office) I don't have my glasses on, so why the fuck am I looking anyway? I can't see further than 5 feet in front of me, so I said thank you because I would have been right up on him before I ever saw him. Dude said 'I didn't want you to see him and have a heart attack!' Well you got that shit right, cause I sure would have!
Dude: He's crossed over now. You're good. So, for real, was there ever really a snake or did dude just wanna say something? I think there was, and if yes, WHAT NEXT?!?! I'm walking in the heat, sun so bright I need SPF 90, bees, wasps, deer and now snakes!
But I have a goal! So tomorrow it's another long walk.
