Matt and I, being the last humans on planet Earth to not have smart phones, have a map sprawled out on a picnic table and are plotting our next route to San Diego. An awkward park ranger walks into our campsite and gives us a suggestion of which highway to take. We thank him.
RANGER: So I'm giving a presentation later on the Desert Big Horn Sheep, they're endangered. I made a power point.
MATT: Oh yeah, we'll definitely be there.
RANGER: Great! I'll see you then. (Walks away with pep in his step and thumbs under his back pack straps)
ME: So we're going to a presentation on Big Horn Sheep tonight?
MATT: Nah, we don't have to go.
ME: You said we'd definitely be there. We have to go. No one else is going to go, we have to go.
MATT: Shit, you're right.
The horns of a Big Horn Sheep weigh 30 pounds. They are scared of dogs because they do not know the difference between a lab and a wolf. A successful initiative to save the Big Horn Sheep has been building bridges across highways so wildlife doesn't get run over. That's all I really remember. Also, though the Ranger is not Beyonce, you should be just as excited to see him.
