Thank god it's Friday, thank god I don't have to work on Fridays or any other day for that matter.
Ah, Friday night turned into Saturday morning. Those are the best nights. So today, Saturday, I am taking the day off. No jobhunting. No bottle collecting. Just looking at the stars. Star Party tonight on Elk Island. I'll be home by sundown making martinis. I want to see bison! But apparently your not supposed to provoke them. The fact that they have to warn people means someone, at sometime, somewhere, provoked the bison and it wasn't a good scene. I would have loved to have been there, "You idiot, do it again".
+10C and clear skies in Edmonton. I'm sure the polar icecaps have finished melting by now. Makes you want to hit the slopes, you know, the ones with the signs saying, "no skiing, avalanche warnings". That must be the single most perfect way of thinning the herd in Alberta/BC. Kind of like snowmobiling in northern Ontario. There's always some numbnut that thinks the lake ice will hold.
Not much else to say, except that I thought the only thing east of Edmonton was Saskatchewan, never mind an island with elk on it. I'm going to go pack the martini thermoses for Elk Island now. Let you know how it goes tomorrow. Or Monday. Might take Sunday off, too.

I came across a bison sunning himself beside the highway near Zama City. I tried to provoke him. I got out of my truck and threw snowballs at him and he did NOTHING! He didn't leave the area or even try to buffalo charge me. He just laid there, giving me the same look the dog gives me when he tries to go to sleep and I keep pulling his tail. Those things are slow and lazy.. no wonder they were hunted to the brink of extinction.
ReplyDeleteThe government should develop a self-defense program for bison.
