Mother Nature thinks you are an idiot; I'm reserving judgement for now

When ever I read something about someone meeting their end out in the wild, I have to wonder is this just some accident or did the person not really know what they were doing in the first place. I don’t like reading about people dying, no matter what you may have heard about me. Well I do like Game of Thrones/ Song of Ice and Fire series so there is an argument that I do enjoy reading about death. However those are fictional deaths and not the real dead. It seems there are more and more of these adventure type deaths occurring all the time. Which leads me to thinking many people have lost sight of the fact that Mother Nature doesn’t like people, it isn’t just you in particular she hates us all. No matter how nice you are to all the fuzzy little critters or how much you recycle, Mother Nature does not care if you live or not. She doesn’t get all weepy about anyone she kills, she is a mean old bitty and you best not get on her bad side. There is no sign at the edge of the forest that says you must be this tall to ride this ride. Just because you can buy a jet ski, speed boat, climbing gear, GPS and camping gear, or whatever gadgets that are available at hey you all watch me do this dot com. Most likely you don’t know how to use the stuff you just spent too much on, you are not as fit as you think you are, you have no idea what is out there or have a plan for what to do if Mother Nature decides that she is in a really bad mood and you just happen to be in the vicinity. What baffles me is these same people will just walk right up to wild animals. And not the little furry cute ones, oh no they walk up the ones which weight several hundred pounds more than any person. Animals that if you hit them with a car might look at you with disgust and head butt your car and saunter on into the forest. The great wide world is not an amusement park where if you buy the gear you have an all day ride pass and can do what ever you feel like doing. Launching rescue efforts to save your dumb ass puts the lives of people who do know what they are doing at risk. It wastes money and resources. And worst of all you have probably dumped a bunch of trash and toxic crap out in the wild which will cause other problems. However, this is becoming not just an out there in the middle of nowhere problem either. No sadly, this species of human, (homo headuptheirassious) is bringing the all idiot road show right to our neighborhoods, in to parks and recreational areas. Now not only are these tour-ons a hazard to themselves they are bringing it to others. Free for the viewing but not so much on the clean up. I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen someone crashing some sort of recreational something; bike, boat, other vehicle into people or things, or worse yet not operating them in a safe manner. It isn’t that I lack any sympathy for the people who have died or become severely injured. The thing is when you read the follow up on these folks. They were not experienced enough to do what they were doing, they had no training at all, were perhaps under the influence of something. Makes me want to move far, far away from people, but I don’t because I don’t have the necessary skills to live so far away from sidewalks, grocery stores and indoor plumbing. Well, that’s all for now, other stuff to follow most likely Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday Thank you for reading, please subscribe, Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
