Oh Give Me a Home ...

...where the buffalo roam. Today in Pikesville, a town down the road a piece from Finksburg, a herd of nine buffalo jumped the fence of their pen and made havoc with the village locals. Seems their owner had decided to ship them off to the slaughterhouse. Well, they must have gotten wind of the plan and decided to high tail it out of Dodge. After trekking down the road about 5 miles, the police/cowboys eventually corralled them inside the tennis court of an apartment complex. Next step was to try to coax the beasties into a trailer truck backed up to the tennis court door. Now, these guys are huge. Apparently they weigh about 2,000 pounds apiece and stand six feet tall, yet they were gracefully leaping over the tennis net like lambs over a style. Definitely didn't want to be corralled, and flattened the improvised lawn chair barricades like they were made of balsa wood. After much hand waviing and jumping jacks, the officers finally managed to corner the herd and they all trooped into the truck. Door slammed. Show over.

Maryland is such fun.
