    National Bison Day 11/5/22

    Estimated half a million bison in North America.

    "You can't roller skate in a herd"... But why would you want to?

    We had a fellow start a bison ranch here a few years ago.

    He didn't read all of the fine print of his Bison Ranch Starter Kit - bison can jump a higher fence than a cow can. And so The Great Roundup began.

    We found a really cool, much older, bison in a bog here as well, and the anthropologists have been very excited about it:

    That is Kansas' state animal (mammal?). Not sure if it's a Bison or a Buffalo. State song says "where the buffalo roam." They are magnificent.
    "Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus

    Ordinarily I admire bison from afar. One day I had a flat tire in the Riding Mountain National Park in Canada. There was no alternative but to change to my spare tire. I was well and truly among a herd of bison. I thought I should be wary of the cow and calf nearest me.

    I recall a prickly sweat, as I did my thing, and THEY did theirs. All was well. We drove in to Wasagaming, and I spent a small fortune for a new tire.
