'Things' you can experience

Hi there! This here is Brittani, you know the 'grunt worker'? Well I'm going to call myself the 'Ranch-Man'(short for 'Ranch Manager'). You know, some crazy funny things can happen while you're on the ranch, perhaps in the field. For instance, the other day I was out working in the field swathing(which means 'cutting the grass with a big ol' machine') and something in the grass caught my 'eagle eye'. I watched this 'thing' scramble through the alfalfa and my curiousity got the better of me. Soon I was standing up tall('cuz I'm quite tall) to try and get a better look. However, I still couldn't tell what it was and so I decided to stop the tractor, 'cuz what if it was a cute little animal in need of rescuing? As I sat there, watching it crawl through the grass, I desperately wanted to go find out what it was. You might ask what stopped me from immediatly jumping off the tractor and trekking through the grass? Well, partly because I was working and 'The Boss' probably wouldn't have wanted me to stop, beings we still had loads of field to cut down. The other part was a slight bit of fear. However, I decided in a quick moment, that nothing that small could be anything remotely dangerous. So off I jumped and started slowly walking towards this 'thing' that was walking away from me. As I got closer I thought I saw a touch of black. I started to get up close to it, say... 4 or 5 feet maybe? when suddenly it stopped. I took one more hesitant step towards it. At this moment, the 'thing' peeked its head above the grass. One look at that white stripe down its back and my mind could barely keep up with my frantic running legs. The now known 'skunk' also screamed (I'm sure of it) and started running the opposite way. The grass pulled at my legs and threatened to take me down, but the adrenaline coursing through my body wouldn't have it. With one final, slightly ungraceful leap I made it into the safety of the tractor seat. I then saw the skunk crawl out of the grass ahead of me and across the rows into the bush. Phew, we were both safe.
So there you have it folks, not only can you experience the hands on work end of things, but also all the wildlife!
