Red Chief, in a new buffalo shirt, displays a ribbon for his participation in the kids run prior to the adults 5K race on campus on the Fourth. The run was about a half mile, and although many kids stopped and walked to catch their breath during the run, Red Chief ran the entire course without stopping. Buffalo power. It's time to let him loose as a wild, free-range buffalo on the Buffalo Trace trail at Mahomet.
Princess, Red Chief, Ali Baba, and Timothy Bull Daddy in my driveway watching neighborhood fireworks on July 3. Ali was quite nervous, trembling much of the time during the loud booming.
Aficionado of the American buffalo and proud member of the Buffalo Warriors, a herd of beer-swilling trail runners and some of the finest humans and criminals on the planet.
"If you were looking for the definitive symbol of the conflict between the cultures that had existed in the American West for at least ten thousand years, and maybe longer, and the culture that was just a building East of the Mississippi River, this culture of technology, of commerce, of grasping after tomorrow before it arrives, you couldn't come up with two more powerful symbols than the Railroad, and the Buffalo, because when the Railroad met the Buffalo, the Iron Age met the Stone Age, the machine arrived in the garden, and the West was changed for ever." - T.H. Watkins
