What else did you and that bison discuss?
A quick Google search of “bison vs cattle in a blizzard” will reveal a lot of sites that agree with what has been expressed in this thread: that bison will face the storm head-on, while cattle will turn tail.
Eh, I often find myself on my bike literally riding like the wind, and doing things like staying in a five-minute lull in a storm for the full 30-minute commute home. And bovines are capable of about the same speed I am. So cows trying to move with a storm wouldn’t have to deal with much relative windspeed, but they’d stay in it nearly indefinitely, while those moving against would face only half the duration of a stationary animal.
In other words, going directly against a storm to get through it quicker sounds completely plausible to me.
Maybe for a thunderstorm, which generally both moves fast and doesn’t cover much ground.
Blizzards can last for days and can cover multiple hundreds of miles at any one time. Whichever direction they’re walking, they’re still going to be in a storm like that for pretty much however long that it lasts.
What it felt like to be bi, son.
The conversation was with the rancher I referred to upthread.
An armed robbery in Colorado turned awry for the alleged perpetrators when police say someone stole their getaway car in the middle of a heist.
Three masked and armed individuals allegedly robbed a check cashing service in Commerce City on Saturday morning, according to the local police department. No injuries were reported.
It took all 3 of them to rob the place? One of them could not stay with the car?
What, and miss out on the glory? Please.

Things don’t “turn awry”; they “go awry”. Stoopit newspaper people.

I actually prefer it if all the robbers go do the deed.
I understand the logic behind statutes that hold getaway drivers and similar assistants (“accessories” in the law) as fully liable for the crimes they facilitate.
But it still sits wrong with me to convict them as fully as the dudes waving guns, shooting people, etc. It smacks of us creating a law that’s easy to prosecute, rather than one that’s effective at preventing social ills. IMO it’s just a hair’s-breadth away from “Round up the usual suspects.”
Comment #3:
Some city names just scream “crime-ridden shithole.” “Commerce City” is one of those names.
You do have to love a place so wildly unlawful that an empty running car lasts mere seconds unstolen. If the robbers had had a lick of sense they’d have robbed a store in at least a little nicer town. You’d expect that they, of all people, would have had a sense of just how lawlessly dangerous Commerce City is.
OTOH, maybe they were expecting a little professional courtesy and were gobsmacked when it wasn’t forthcoming.

I also think that’s the first time I’ve seen Musk’s messaging service X referred to just as plain “X” in the wild, rather than as “X (formerly known as Twitter)”.
It seems mainstream media is finally getting over the rename. Whether for good or ill.
Or Elon sent them a letter.
It does sound like it’s next to Metropolis or Gotham City.
When you think of yourself as a wolf you expect everyone else to be a sheep and forget that there are other wolves out there.
Also, if you steal a car you’re not concerned about it because you’re just going to ditch it soon anyway. So you’re not thinking about protecting it the way a normal person who owns a car would. It’s easy to forget that the car is still temporarily important to you.
I was mostly trying to make a funny, but yeah. Both those observations fit well. Plus of course the fact that most robbers are not the most thorough thinkers out of all god’s critters.
Maybe the article was written by AI? That could explain the “turning awry” phrase…which also annoyed me. And why it referred to plain ol’ X.
I kinda doubt it was AI. The bit at the end where the article quoted a comment from the police “You can’t make this stuff up” seems a pretty subtle literary idea for the current state of the AI art. The whole thing was lighter than the usual leaden prose I see from most AI.
But that is an interesting theory. Might have been mostly AI< including the awkward parts, with a quick human brushstroke or two to make it “hand painted”.
A school allegedly had a “spontaneous and unplanned roleplay” reenactment of Rosa Parks being arrested, featuring a 2-year-old being handcuffed. The school says no handcuffs were in evidence and the administration wasn’t aware of the event. Still, why did anyone think it was a good idea?
And on a lighter note (I suppose): At least he wasn’t trying to hide them in an occupied diaper, right? Because those bullets would have been difficult to retrieve if he had to be a “hero” on the flight.
I remember times when my kids would have explosive diarrhea which led to a diaper blowout, so this is particularly dangerous.
If you change the diaper it’s like reloading a magazine.
A Kentucky helicopter pilot has pleaded guilty to flying an air ambulance while drunk.
He was transporting a patient and medical staff from eastern KY to Lexington when the helicopter started flying erratically and losing altitude.
“The crew members shouted at Wiljanen over the intercom on the helicopter and after several tries got his attention. They convinced him to land at the Central Kentucky Regional Airport in Richmond, telling him that a crew member was sick, according to the plea. Wiljanen made a non-standard approach to the airport, forcing to other aircraft to take evasive maneuvers. The patient was transferred to a ground ambulance for the trip to the UK hospital, and Wiljanen was taken by ambulance to Baptist Health Hospital in Richmond to be evaluated. A blood alcohol test performed on Wiljanen at 2:19 p.m. showed a concentration of 0.35%, according to the plea agreement.”
With a 0.35 BAC it’s no wonder he’d be semi-comatose.
If I wasn’t already dead, at least I couldn’t move my feet with that much alcohol in my system, but flying and landing a helicopter without even crashing? That guy must be a very experienced drinker.
