Colorado City , TexasEdit Actually I think it ' s named after the Colorado River , so it only half counts . <| sep |> Or have a candidate that is worth voting for . We would have lost either way <| sep |> If you do get sick leave here in the USA , your employer pays for it entirely . The government gives them no help if you ' re home with pneumonia . They pay your salary in full while not having your labor available . <| sep |> Thedonald just needs to be removed , bots put too many of their posts on the front page and that is annoying along with all their other questionable activites like pizzagate . <| sep |> The late season meltdown is a tradition , and you know how we feel about traditions <| sep |> Probably 16 at the time , and one of my buddies had asked me up to his bonfire party . Everyone where I ' m from has great big properties with tons of space and this was a semi usual occurrence during the summers grab all your friends , drive some trucks and tents way up in the middle of nowhere on someone ' s property , build a grand old fire , have some drinks . That night I was getting particularly tipsy and as I ' m going in and out of my drunkenness the last thing I remember is sitting on a log and feeling the whole world begin to shake around me . Looking around , trucks shaking , trees shaking , people suddenly standing up and looking around in bewilderment . can hear a tree fall in the distance . I ' m freaking out inside but too drunk to tell what ' s going on . it stops and everything fades to black . I wake up and I ' m face down half in ash half in dirt , wondering what the hell happened . I sit up and not more than 5 feet away from me a full grown bull moose is standing there , just staring down at me . For anyone who ' s never seen a moose in real life , they are fucking massive . They stand some 10 ft tall and I would guess weigh 1000 lbs for the really big ones . They also can be aggressive if threatened and there is no way you are winning that battle . So I ' m sitting there speechless , desperately wanting to yell to my friends but can ' t for fear of spooking it . This goes on for what seemed like hours but was probably more like 5 minutes , at which point it walks over to the truck , looks inside , sticks it ' s head into an empty cooler , looks like it might very grabbed something but I couldn ' t tell , and just walks off back into the brush . Come to find out that the shaking and trees falling was an earthquake , and the moose was very real , and I ' ll never drink Jack Daniel ' s again after falling asleep half in a fire .
