Every silence is different

It's correct that the grandpa and grandson were only taking pictures and not provoking the bison in any way.

It is NOT correct that they were hundreds of feet away; they were standing on the other side of the campsite road, which is MUCH MUCH MUCH TOO CLOSE for safety! And I am not victim-blaming in any way here, especially because maybe they honestly didn't know how fast bison can move.

But a PSA for the rest of you: if you are taking a picture of bison with your phone, and you can clearly identify the animal as a bison on your phone screen without having to squint or zoom in, YOU ARE TOO CLOSE!

Be like the "I ain't messing with you" guy and be smart. Get into your vehicle (big, metal, designed to protect you in case of impact), drive a safe(r) distance away, and *then* you can take some pictures -- while remaining in your car with the engine running.

Bison can run up to 30 mph. Let's say you're standing 300 feet away. (That's the length of an American football field minus the end zones.) A bison can travel that distance in just under NINE SECONDS!

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

德化白瓷 Déhuà báicí/dehua white porcelain

Dehua County, located in Quanzhou, Fujian, China, is renowned for its white porcelain.

Its kilns flourished during the Tang (618-907 CE) and Song dynasties(960–1279 CE), peaked in the Yuan and Ming periods, and remain famous today, particularly for their white porcelain. Fired at high temperatures, the unglazed porcelain exhibits a smooth, jade-like texture, appearing crystal-clear and pure white.
