Bull wrasslin'

10 December 2011
My friend Ed from "Resolution" on Dock 6 - and from Sandpoint, Idaho, it turns out - invited me to the bullfights. It was the Festival of the Forcado, in which local teams compete to see who can wrestle the bull the best. These are largely bloodless for both man and bull, although there were a few close calls with guys diving behind the walls just in time. You can see the lead guy literally taking the bull by the horns - he actually folds his body around the head as the bull charges - then his teammates grab hold in sort of a rugby scrum and the brass band plays a triumphant chorus. Good spectacle.
