Throwback Blog


In today's "Web Log" blog entry we're goin back, wayyyy back, all the way to the distant oldy fashioned world of 1997! 97 was the days of me being a teenager, hippies, The Wonder Years and Woodstock. (Woodstock 99 was in the planning stages.) Things were hoppin' down at the malt shop, a group of ruffians called the Wu Tang Clan were making hit records and beer was slightly cheaper than it is today! And, there was the internet. And, there were flying bulls!


Bull Falls off Embankment, Totals Car July 18, 1997
Joseph, Ore (AP) - This may be a new one for the insurance company; A 2,000-pound bull falls and totals a woman's car.

Elizabeth Hanks was driving on a narrow, winding road in the mountains when she noticed two black angus range bulls sparring on an embankment 20 feet above her car.

"The last thing I remeber is the bull coming in through the windshield, and then I don't know - I must have lost consciousness for a few minutes," the 71-year-old woman said. "It was a lot of bull and a lot of shattered glass."

Hanks was treated at the hospital for a bump on the head. The bull suffered a broken foreleg and other injuries, and had to be killed.
