    I am thinking about maybe going at the end of next month. There’s a specific event I want to go to in Sydney. Obviously it’s a little bit pricey and it is a long ass travel day.

    I’m trying to figure out what one does in regards to tourism there?

    I have always wanted to drive in Australia at night because I have heard the kangaroos will make a mad dash to try to run in front of your car. I just think that would be crazy to experience, and of course I won’t swerve. I’ll just smoke the damn thing.

    When I was about 16, I was driving up a mountain in Montana At about 11 PM to meet some friends that were camping. I ended up hitting a very large black bear, causing him to roll off the side of the road.

    About half a mile later, I hit a rock and came up with a flat tire.

    I had to walk multiple miles down that mountain, fearing that this bear was gonna be pissed off at me and come for vengeance.

    The story ended about four hours later as I came across my ex Cub Scout waiter, along with a couple other junkies high on methamphetamine camping in the woods. They were willing to give me a ride home.
