Now That the Bison . . .

leave a comment »

. . . has been proclaimed our national mammal, some changes may have to be made to keep us Politically untitledCorrect.

First off is a new name for that lakeside city in New York and its NFL team will become the Bison Bills. We can’t overlook the Old West’s  legendary shooter and showman — Bison Bill.

There’ll be some revised  song lyrics (“O give me a home, where the bison roam . . .) as well as song titles (“Shuffle off to Bison). And restaurants will have to make menu changes: Bison Burgers.

There could be more but I don’t know if Native Americans will regale listeners with the “Legend of the White Bison.”

. . . whom I hadn’t seen for several years. She was alert, well-coifed and instantly bouquetrecognizable despite being well into her 90s. We were pleased to see each other, went over details of some old tales, and got caught up on the lives of mutual friends, relatives and acquaintances.  Many of the people at the social gathering we attended marveled at her energy and appearance and said they would like to look like her when thev become nonagenarians.

I think that’s great, as long as you’re female.

doctor_100. . . all my tests — blood glucose, abdominal ultrasound, hearing and sight, and everything else — have turned out positive with no changes or negatives and I should keep on doing what I’ve been doing all along.

So I still go out and swear and shout at all those damned drivers and bicyclists in traffic.
