My town makes national news
« on: December 02, 2011, 02:03:15 PM »
MILFORD, Conn. — A posse hopes to soon catch Waldo, a bull that escaped from a farm in July and has been on the loose in the coastal city of Milford, Conn.
Quote
The Connecticut Post reports ( ) that an attempt to corral the 700-pound black Angus failed Nov. 20. In the next few weeks, officials will try again. http://bit.ly/vJNUpx

Milford animal control officer Rick George says Waldo has been traveling with and grazing with a herd of deer. Last month, volunteers put up a steel fence around Waldo's hideout in Milford but he rammed it and escaped.

George says about 20 veterinarians, representatives of the state Department of Agriculture and others plan to track down Waldo in the next few weeks, trap him and move him to an animal sanctuary.

We get in the news for the strangest things. This is from The Huffington Post but it was a bunch of other places too.   One thing to remember is I live in a fairly populated city not out in some rural area.  I hope he continues to elude capture :hyke:

 This reminds me of someone's joke about my childhood hometown ... somebody at work
 noticed the town was in the news and cracked, "What, did somebody's cow get loose?"


 Also, the joke in this case writes itself:  "Where's Waldo?"  :rofl:

The new USA network series, Common Law is being filmed here in New Orleans.  New Orleans is subbing for Los Angeles.  Somhow that seems weird.

Well, if they weren't extinct before, they're probably extinct now.
