Definitely NOT on my Bucket List!



In 1992, I was in Pamplona, Spain around the time of the Running of the Bulls. People came from all over the world to partake in this annual event. The whole town was abuzz with the excitement of how the spectacle would unfold. It turned out to be a good year... no one got killed, although every year there are hundreds of injuries.  Back then, I really couldn't understand the attraction to doing something that could get you trampled, gored, bruised, and broken, not to mention I felt sorry for the bulls. So I was not disappointed when our itinerary required us to leave before the first bull run.

Well, today my friend Larry sent me the link to this video clip about the Running of the Bulls. After seeing it, I am amazed anyone would actually want to participate voluntarily. Gee... I could maybe see it as punishment of some kind, like for being an idiot.  By the way, you will notice that there are no women foolish enough to run with the bulls...

Turn up the volume, and see for yourself what this looks like at its craziest.

    I love reading your blog. It's a combination of philosophy, humor and practical advice, not to mention the beautiful photos. As for the running of the bulls...if people's brains were in their backsides, these guys would have had a lot of sense knocked into them.
