There are two distinct thought processes

...that come about when a 2,000-pound buffalo is charging at you from far away.

The first is, roughly, "WHOA that is such an amazing buffalo. And it's really close! And HUGE! Wow, it's coming across the road! This is so COOL!"

The second, also highly entertaining, and with a faster heartbeat to go along with it, is, again, roughly, "HOLY SHIT THERE'S A BUFFALO HEADING RIGHT FOR ME AND IT'S SO CLOSE I CAN SEE INTO ITS EYES AND--MOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!!!".

I learned this today. Firsthand. Yeeeeeah Montana.
