Another Bug

I'm tellin' ya.

They are BIG down here.

Clogging

I don't know why this isn't called group tap dancing.

These were three of the eight kids in the clogging group and afterwards, I wanted to tell them it was really cool. I especially wanted to tell that to the girl who really didn't want to be clogging in front of an audience.

But there is nothing reassuring about an unknown old guy coming up and saying something is cool.

But it was.

(Lawn)Tractor Pull

At the Dubois County Fair, they had an event for people who liked to soup up their lawn tractors and pull things with it.

Interesting.

People mow their lawns all the time here. I think it's their love of riding mowers. I think these lawn tractors are the kings of riding mowers.

Stars and Bars

Driving around the backroads just outside of Birdseye, I ran into this flag.

I was more than a little nervous taking a picture of this. Seemed like someone flying this flag in 2006 was capable of anything.

Where the Buffalo Roam (but not too far)

While I was driving on some country road not too far outside of Birdseye, I ran into a farm with some buffalo grazing. Buffalo were so prevalent around here, that they created 'traces' which were turned into roads.

Seems odd, I always thought of buffalo living on the western plains, like the movies. I had no idea that they were wiped out in areas like this as well.

Being ten feet from this buffalo made that seem more personal.

I think I'd like to run into herds of buffalo roaming and stuff.
