It was a beautiful, clear night for my longstanding, biannual tradition of stargazing in mid-August . We took off well after dark into Missouri countryside full of anticipation. Once there we carefully jumped the barbed wire fence and set up our blankets under the wide expanse. It wasn't more than a few minutes before bright meteors were streaking the starlit sky. We laughed and talked well into the night until someone noticed that we weren't the only ones in the field. It became apparent that there were cows very close to us. It was nearly two in the morning anyway so we picked up our blankets and headed home.
It has been nearly a month since the night we termed "Grubfest 2007" and as it turns out, it was not a field of cows, it was a field of bulls.
Is anyone up for Grubfest 2008?

YEAH!!!! You finally updated your blog!!!
No thank you. I prefer to do my star-gazing in a bull-free environment.
Come now, where is your sense of adventure?
