Mother Nature

As all of you know, Mother Nature is a bad ass. She has control of our safety while we're out and about... and sometimes she gets angry at the things we humans do. For example, there's this place called Yellowstone National Park and it has a lot of very large animals; bison and bears being two of them. Millions of people travel to see this park every year. It's famous for it's thermal features, but one of the biggest attractions is the wildlife. Yellowstone is like America's own little Africa (minus the AIDS)... there's all kinds of cool animals in place that you can't really see anywhere else. Well back to Mother Nature and our safety. This wonderful lady watches over us to keep us out of harm's way.... unless of course we mess with her plans. We see this happen all the time, or at least hear about it; the people who don't keep all hands and feet inside the ride at all times, people who think the volcano they're photographing is not full of burning lava so they get as close to the rim as they can, the people that stand in the middle of the road to film the tornado coming straight for them, and of course the people who can't read the signs warning them not to approach the wildlife. But those people are great right? We can make fun of how stupid they are while we're driving and texting someone else to ask them if they heard about the dumb guy. Obviously these things are not safe, so why do people do it? You thought I was going to have an answer to that didn't you? Well I don't... I don't know why they do it either. It can't be because it's fun. I don't see the fun in near death (or all death) experiences. I witnessed an encounter between Mother Nature and a tourist at Yellowstone once. It was hilarious! So there was this lady that wanted a picture of a bison that was in the parking lot. She was standing way too close to him... but a picture is worth a thousand words right? And sometimes thousands of dollars in hospital bills. She kept creeping closer like the bison couldn't see her or something! The animal started walking towards her and I swear she pissed a little bit. She screamed and bolted to her car. The bison followed and just stared at her through her window. Eventually he kept walking and left her alone. The lady I saw was lucky she didn't get attacked for being dumb. It's not a good idea to mess with Mother Nature... I'm tellin' ya. Watch the video if you don't believe me. It shows another man who got too close to a bison and wasn't so lucky. That day Mother Nature said fuck you human.
