I'm in a suburban area, not a rural one, but we get the occasional coyote or bobcat around here. That's just one of the reasons our cat stayed exclusively indoors and my dog never goes out in the yard without me. But I think it's really cool when I get to see one

Practising being around people does help though even if you have to try like forever to get the hang of it and then fail a lot in the process. And I have failed a lot, even had to move to another city to get away from people and isolation. My solution to get out of isolation has been Aspie meetups and meetups for people with mental health issues. People there don't care if you're strange or have issues because they know all about it themselves.

Though I never got the hang of spending time with NTs with normal lives and no apparent mental health issues

^Yes I agree, it's better that way. I actually grew up on a farm with lot's of animals and stuff and I'm no stranger to see animals having to be put down due to some decease or accidents that hurt them. Even though I have never been the one who has to do it I always feel a sorrow just thinking about the animal suffering and it having to be killed.

I've seen some horrible things, the elements can be pretty rough on the animals sometimes. Like this summer some crows had killed a lamb getting stuck in a fence. Just thinking about it makes me sad and angry at the crows and that stupid fence. But it's just how nature is, accidents happen.

^Not everything like that gets to me to be honest. But somethings I've seen is just so horrible that I can feel it for days after. When I think about some of the unimagniable torture that is done to animals certain places in the world, I fantasise about that the same treatment should be done to the people that perform this heinous acts. Which in reality would be just as bad I guess.

At work a vending machine seems to have rejected capitalism and has started taking money without giving any snacks in return.

So far it has eaten $2.90 of my money because I had the common sense to try a few times. "Maybe only the drink vending part is broken and chips will work... Nope. If the card reader just steals your money then maybe cash will make it behave differently... Nope again."

Sometimes I want to slap myself for taking such a scientific approach to everything, there are times when repeating experiments to verify the conclusion is a really bad idea.

EDIT: Actually it apparently hasn't charged my card for one of the bags of chips I payed for and didn't get so really I'm only in the hole $2.00. If it weren't a really bad idea I would say that this demands further investigation.

Food must be cheap where mikeman lives.
Here you couldn't even buy a can of drink for $2.90.

Vending machines are expensive.
Most are between $2.50 - $4.00 for a drink.
You could buy a 2L bottle of Coke at the store for about $2.50

Sometimes I walk into the bathroom and my cat is huddled in the bathtub like a gigantic hairball.

we adopted these fur babies today. cuddles is the calico. rooster lost an eye to a raccoon. they are both cuddle bugs.
