Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Running of the bulls, Petersburg Virginia

I know, the purists out there are probably shaking their heads in disgust, but this is the best we are going to get in America. We are lucky we can even get this with the political correctness and animal welfare activism that is rampant in our country.

So if bloodless bullfights and somewhat tamer encierros is what we have to work with I say lets be thankful and enjoy it as much as possible. As for my area it looks like I will have a chance to run with the bulls in July of 2014. You can bet I will be there and ready for turn "run in the horns."


a warning to all


Viva San Fermin!


La furia comienza


Stampede!


Not too many "running in the horns" yet


One guy tries and gets leveled


This runner does a little better


This guy is about to get nailed
