Monday night I drove out of town to go camping with my family. I'm not a big fan of bugs, the outdoors and well... nature. I've never understood why people think it's fun to pretend that we don't have electricity or durable shelter while still using flashlights and camper trailers. It seems to me that nature can be "enjoyed" just as easily through a modernized cabin or hotel window.
In any case, I think after having a run-in with a 5-foot snake and two skunks in one night, I've earned a "pass" on the next camping trip suggested to me. No one was bitten or sprayed, but I came within 2 feet of accidentally stepping on the snake and was temporarily barred from entrance to my tent by a skunk. That's enough "enjoying nature" to last me for a while.
