run with the bull

Viroqua, WI. Sitting tandem on a John Deere tractor at flank speed.

 

It was late before we arrived at the farm. My sister idled in wait with her cargo... the focal point of the life-and-death rescue operation... her incapacitated friend's seven cats. They, a family without a home, perhaps pound gas chamber bound, but graciously at the threshold of their new organic farm abode.

 

However, as we rounded the curve into the estate, a one ton cow eyed us suspiciously. The cat release would have to wait!

 

Not a bull but as the bulls ran in Basque, she (having escaped from the electrified pasture), ran from us head-on into the goring back-road speedway calamity!

 

LOCATION: Viroqua, Wisconsin ...gateway to America's unglaciated, Driftless Region ...a small portion of Earth that has miraculously watched virtually unperturbed as each ice age came and went. Viroqua, forever unglaciated it seems.
