if you need to turn them on, and

a complete transcript in the description below.

Well, I just got back from my walk.
5
12773
2367
00:15
I actually went for a full 90 minutes this morning,
6
15141
4159
00:19
and it's been a while since I've done that.
7
19301
2431
00:21
I do like going for really, really
8
21733
2143
00:23
long walks, so it felt really good.
9
23877
2679
00:26
But I'm feeling a little out of sorts.
10
26557
2389
00:28
I don't know if you know that word.
11
28947
1481
00:30
I'm feeling a little out of sorts because two
12
30429
2495
00:32
dogs ran out about 2 km down the road.
13
32925
4271
00:37
There's a place that has two big german shepherds.
14
37197
3609
00:40
They look like this.
15
40807
1161
00:41
They're kind of mean looking, and normally
16
41969
2597
00:44
they're in like a kennel area.
17
44567
2313
00:46
But today when I walked by, they weren't and
18
46881
2607
00:49
they came running at me, barking very, very angrily.
19
49489
4461
00:53
And so I was on the same side of the road as the dogs.
20
53951
3899
00:57
So I looked both ways to
21
57851
2297
01:00
make sure there was no traffic.
22
60149
1109
01:01
There was a big truck coming, but
23
61259
1993
01:03
it was kind of far away.
24
63253
1263
01:04
And I ran across the road and then I turned and
25
64517
3251
01:07
I just started yelling at the dogs, like, hey, get away.
26
67769
2991
01:10
Get lost. Get. Get!
27
70761
1259
01:12
And then I saw the owner running from
28
72710
2866
01:15
his house, yelling at the dogs as well.
29
75577
2991
01:18
And then the big truck that was coming had
30
78569
2579
01:21
to come to a full stop because the one
31
81149
3119
01:24
dog stayed on the other side of the road.
32
84269
1759
01:26
The other dog came across the
33
86029
1359
01:27
road at me, still barking.
34
87389
1797
01:29
And I just remember seeing a lot of teeth.
35
89187
3199
01:32
And I had my winter hat in my hand,
36
92387
3117
01:35
so I was getting ready to throw it.
37
95505
2063
01:37
And this is going to sound kind of strange, but I
38
97569
2175
01:39
was trying to think, okay, if this dog does try to
39
99745
3043
01:42
bite me, where do I want it to bite me?
40
102789
3439
01:46
And so I decided it would be my left arm.
41
106229
2601
01:50
Sounds kind of funny.
42
110210
2000
01:52
It's not funny at all.
43
112211
1057
01:53
But if I had to sacrifice part of me, I would
44
113269
3039
01:56
let the dog bite there and hopefully the owner would come.
45
116309
2243
01:58
But just as the dog was about a meter and a half
46
118553
3663
02:02
away from me, the owner was yelling like crazy like I said.
47
122217
3967
02:06
And finally the dog heard the
48
126185
2243
02:08
owner and turned and ran away.
49
128429
2847
02:11
Big truck was stopped.
50
131277
1509
02:12
I actually wish the truck had honked his horn.
51
132787
3535
02:16
That might have stopped the dog as well.
52
136323
2285
02:18
But anyways, a little bit scary, but I'm fine.
53
138609
3371
02:23
My Fitbit, though, did say that my heart rate
54
143390
2226
02:25
went up quite a bit during that little incident.
55
145617
3053
02:28
Anyways, this is what it looks like here.
56
148671
3539
02:32
Yeah, not much to show you.
57
152211
4257
02:36
It's like kind of green.
58
156469
2491
02:39
We really need it to freeze and we really
59
159810
2242
02:42
need to get some snow that's actually good for
60
162053
1855
02:43
some crops and to kill off some different insects.
61
163909
2389
02:46
But we're just out here enjoying the warm weather.
62
166299
2559
02:48
It is nice to go for a walk without freezing, but
63
168859
3273
02:52
at the same time, hopefully it gets a lot colder soon.
64
172133
2543
02:54
Anyway, thanks for being members.
65
