Guy On A Buffalo - Episode 1

[xoxoxoBruce]

We have several Bison farms in Lancaster County, raising them for the meat market, so I’ve seen them driving by quite often. Ho hum, shaggy cows. It wasn’t until I got up close and personal I realized how big they get.

Driving through Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota the was a three way intersection I came to where a herd was just starting to cross. For myself and a couple others nothing to do but shut it off and wait. As the herd crossed it got wider and wider until all the stopped vehicles were engulfed too. I’m in a van a couple steps up from the ground and the big bulls are looking me in the eye.

There was a big post maybe six feet high at that intersection and a Bison would stop and scratch their neck. They would keep scratching until another one would bump them in the ass then take their place scratching. This happened a half dozen times and I noticed the bumper was always bigger than the bumpee. The last one was a yuge bull, the biggest critter I’ve ever seen in the wild.

Have you seen my holiday snaps?





Taken from the car with a telephoto lens, I hasten to add.

That trip was back in 2003 but seems like yesterday.
I don't know where the time goes but it makes me realise how short life is.
In a somewhat reflective mood this morning.

I sort of knew Russell when I was a kid (this was the The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes era).

The Russell family lived in the same SoCal town I did when I was a kid. Mom was the head nurse for a local bigwig plastic surgeon at the time, and Kurt's dad, Bing, was a client of this surgeon. At some point along the way, mom invited Bing to join the bowling league my folks belonged to, and Bing accepted.

On league nights, I went along to babysit the league members' kids. Every now and then Kurt would show up, and he and I would hang out together while the old folks bowled.

That SOB failed to fall head over heels in love with me, and for that I will never forgive him.






Fuckin' Goldie.

That's pretty cool. How was he then as a famous child actor? Normal? Did you act normal around him?

No attitude or inflated ego - he was totally normal and really, really cute. I did my best to pretend he was just some random guy (but he was SO darned cute!).

Cute but obviously dumb, for not falling head over heels for Glinda. He could have been gay though.
