My Way News:Herd of Buffalo Disrupt Traffic in Md.

PIKESVILLE, Md. (AP) - A herd of buffalo somehow got loose and wandered around an upscale neighborhood Tuesday, disrupting traffic and alarming homeowners before officers managed to corral them in a tennis court.

Submitted for your consideration: Suburbia, once believed to have the best of urban and rural worlds, now officially has the worst of both worlds. Big city residents always gloat when there is an urban-type crime or other problem in a suburb. It is a schadenfreude carnival whenever there is a drive-by shooting in a suburb. "See?" they say, "Suburbanites can't escape bad schools/crime/fiscal collapse/traffic etc..." But now suburbia gets rural problems as well--a dad gum buffalo stampede. What's next? Potato blight? Boll weevils? Locusts?
