Some Pix

Warren, who have you gotten pix from?

I got CDs from Lou, Charlie, you, Bruce, Mike and Danl. Randy emailed
me a few of the pics he had taken too. RW gave me some line about he
didn't many pics and basically doesn't have anything for the CD or some
such crap. Don't know if Johnny H. has any either.

always back up your HD on disk!

I still can't figure out why it crashed and that really annoys me. For
some reason it said the drive was formatted as RAW and I couldn't access
anything on it. This didn't happen because of a virus or anything else
that I could identify either. I tried several programs from quite a
number of vendors that claimed their product could retrieve lost data
from hard drives even if there was some sort of mechanical failure in
the HD itself. After about a month of trying a bunch of them, I finally
found one that could and I was able to retrieve all of the data from the
hard drive. If you ever need such a program, I recommend GetDataBack
from http://www.runtime.org/ Well worth the cost ($79) IMHO.

Since this last fiasco I am not only backing up everything to another
HD, but also to CD. It has kind of been a pain in the ass organizing
all of my pics, but I broke them down into categories like 2002, 2003,
2004, Conclaves, etc and then created a sub folder in each with the date
that I downloaded the pics or an easily identifiable name (I.e. Western
Clave 2004). You can never have too many backups.....

bill - since you are the expert, what is the difference between a bison
and a buffalo? yellowstone literature states its animals are bison,
then gives a leaflet out warning of the dangers of buffalo?

Those buffalo swimming across the Yellowstone were a highlight of the
trip for me. Buffalo are impressive animals in any situation but
swimming across the river they took on a prehistoric feel for me.


I wouldn't mind seeing some high res pictures of those. I saw the ones on
abpf, which prompted me to read Dale Lott's "American Bison: A Natural

High res me, please!

That's all I have. Charlie had his camera set at low res, but Danl might
have higher res pictures of his.

I have some hi res shots of buffalo just standing around, but none of them
swimming.

No difference other than nomenclature. Buffalo or "plains buffalo" is a
common name by which the mammal Bison bison is known.

I'll let Professor Lott answer. From the preface of his book:

"I've given a lot of thought to whether I should call my protagonist 'bison'
or 'buffalo.' My scientist side is drawn to 'bison'. It is scientifically
correct and precise. One kind of buffalo is native to Asia and another is
native to Africa; none is native to North America. Yet the side of me that
grew up American is drawn to 'buffalo'- the name by which most Americans
have long known it. I decided to use both names: 'bison', or to be exact
'Bison bison,' places the animal precisely among the world's mammals, while
'buffalo' honors its long, intense, and dramatic relationship with the
peoples of North America."

Press, 2002. pp. xiv-xv
