      I don’t think it’s allergies, man. I think one of the cows you’ve spoken to may have exposed you to mad cow disease. Remember to maintain six feet when YOing the cows.

    This happened to me once. Was sleeping ( room was next to outdoor greenhouse) and woke up to the sound of crawling in my ear. Freaked me out and would not come out. I grabbed some water and poured it in to my ear and it died. The craziest was that I could hear the legs moving faster until I heard nothing. I fell back asleep and forgot about it. In the morning when brushing my teeth I heard a GLUG and out of my ear came the dead bug with water. Was strange experience indeed.

He was freaking out and ended up calling his mom who also didn't believe him. Then she took him to the hospital and the doctor didn't believe him. They all just thought he was tripping. Then finally when the doctor looked in his ear it was totally a moth. Thought that was a one in a million experience. You fkn rip Chad!

    In John Steinbeck's book "Travels with Charley: In Search of America", he talks about in preparation of his trip and in meeting people along the way, there's always a wishfullness he observes in people when he tells them he's going on the road- a look of wanting to also leave and embark on the same adventure. You seem to be experiencing that as well, where it stirs a feeling of adventure in people who used to skate or have some kind of connection to skateboarding and adventure. It's really cool to see people meeting you along the way and joining you for a little while to get that same feeling of freedom.

    The realities of moving forward outdoors; as a cyclist, I’ve been stung by bees on both shoulders plus one stung me though a vent on my helmet (not to mention swallowing half the insects found in the animal kingdom!). Pretty crazy that a butterfly flew into your ear, skated with it there, and found an urgent care to get it all out!

    0:11 that's one thing people usually don't mention much about switching up climates rapidly. It tends to really mess with allergies & sinuses in general. You went from super dry air to super humid and pollen filled air in a span of a couple weeks! Ragweed pollen is especially bad on the east coast around this time of year
