Day One But Not Really

This is for you Melissa Boles!! :)

It is three ten am in New York right now and I have near zero energy as I spent most of the day at what I soon discovered to be similar to a death factory. My family was under the impression that as someone who doesn't eat meat, is disturbed deeply by death especially the death of animals who have such pure beautiful souls and more of a right to walk this planet then humans, and who is disgusted by hunting and taxidermy, would really love to visit Cabela's Hunter's Outfitter store. There were more stuffed animals in that place then I have even seen alive. Deer, baby deer, elk, mountain goats, wolves, beavers, fish, copious varieties of birds, many varieties of mountain cats, brown bears, black bears, grizzly bears, polar bears, moose, Canadian geese all over the ceilings hanging in the creepiest 'hey I am suppose to look like I am flying but really I look fucked up' type of way. Also, just in case there was any question as to whether or not there were more animals, well there were, I just didn't wander and gander at the Wild life Museum Section (aka death museum). :( Also, the wonderful people at Cabela's idea headquarters decided that they would have an eatery in their lovely store. Well if I ate moose, bison, venison, veal, mountain cat, bison brats, hamburgers of every type of meat imaginable, or one of the many different fish critters, then I would pee myself. The opposite however was the case for me. I had french fires because when I asked if they had just cheese pizza (that's right they even had pizza) all three of the workers looked around for about a tenth of a second, stared at me for about ten seconds, then said 'I guess we could make it cheese pizza', this was when the little hairs on the back of my neck said 'if you eat that pizza you may throw it up'. Hicks.

On a more positive note I bought amazing boots that are crazy warm and insanely water proof so that I may do more snow shoeing and cross country skiing. I also purchased for a steal, a fake leather bracelet that snaps together and says "spread good vibes". All is now forgiven family...the trip to Connecticut to the death factory is now been at least a productive one :)
