Ok, now it's time for something I really can't believe that I saw, something that shouldn't have been seen and something I have now had reoccurring dreams about for 4 nights straight. My friend Becky Barrow lives in Pennsylvania. She lives in the York area. I wouldn't consider her home in high hillbilly territory, but the countryside surrounding her is a definite. Well, I was driving home and this truck was right in my way on a windy road so I had to immediately swerve around him. I wanted to find out what on earth he was doing out of his truck in the middle of traffic. Well, I turn to look and he has the bed of his truck open and he runs across the street...picks up a LIVE turkey by it's feet and chucks it with full force into the bed of his truck and slams the truck bed door shut and jumps in his truck and proceeds to peel wheels down the road. If I was a roll down the window and yell profanities kind of girl I would have totally given it to him. Well, maybe I am sometimes but not on Thursday. I was feeling pretty shocked so I really couldn't do anything. Then I started thinking. O.k....maybe he is taking the turkey home for dinner. And that's ok. Weird and unusual but o.k.. Then I remembered...no, Beth, that turkey was live and cleary wasn't dead or close to dying. Well, maybe close since he was thrown out of the bed of a truck. Seriously, that turkey was at least 25 feet from the truck and on the asphalt. What on earth was he doing with that turkey? Surely it wasn't going to be his pet because no one treats their pets like that, right? OH, which brings me to another story. Chad and I were driving down the road one day to visit family. Actually, we were driving to my parents house for family pictures. The picture that's currently on my mom's website. We were driving and there was this little boy about oh....11 years old. He had a golden retriever type of dog on a leash right by the road. Well, I guess the dog ran out into the road and he had just gotten him out of harm's way. Well, he started hitting the dog profusely on the head. Now, I'm sure it wasn't that hard and the dog didn't seem to be freaking out too badly just crouching on the ground. He was just this skinny little boy. Hey, maybe he was 9 years old. Point being -- people are just ignorant asses and they prove it time and time again. While I am at it I might has well tell you a few things. Don't get a dog if you aren't going to let it live in your house. It's just not a pet then, it's a guard dog. And if you don't live in a junk yard, you're not supposed to have a guard dog. If your house and your posessions are so precious to you, then get a freaking ADT alarm system. IDIOTS! Also. The circus. Ahh, the circus. I just love hearing stories about when Elephants go wild and stampede the audience. No, you don't understand. I really LOVE it. People deserve it. Now, why on earth are you going to tame a wild animal so that you can take it out of it's natural habitat, stand on it, jump on it, throw peanuts at it, prod at it, make it stand on it's head, butt, whatever and then dress it up and charge people to make fun of it with you? I hate you people! Ok, it does suck that the Sigfreid Roy or whatever that guys name got mawed. yea, it sucks but he deserved it! Dumb, dumb idiot. If any of you come to my house I'll let my dog bite you. He will too. All of you are hillbilly's and I can't believe you've lasted this long in life.
