Grazing Under the Lightning

Every Thursday evening from now until November will be Holy Thursday, a time for running and grazing at the Buffalo Trace Trail at Mahomet. Last night's festivities got a little hairy when four of us (Cuzzin Don, Lard Ass, Devil Dawg, and me), while consuming buffalo bait (beer to the uninitiated), stayed on long after the run and "shot the buffalo bull" while lightning lit the darkening sky. When a particular bolt got a little too close, we finally had to leave the trail area. As usual we had stayed too long, but illuminated by lightning and swapping stories, it was all good. It was tough leaving my brother bulls. I even missed most of my beloved "Grey's Anatomy" show, but it was worth it. Long live the herd.

Tommy -- can we get this artwork (buffalo face with lightning bolt)? That would be such an awesome t-shirt, it wouldn't even be funny!

Lots of Buffalove
