New York

Lyndon Johnson’s wife, Lady Bird, had enjoyed huge success when she planted wild flowers along along many of the Texas highways, creating a stunning sight every spring.  Her attempt to reforest lower Manhattan along the Hudson River hadn’t enjoyed the same success. . .

No More Big Gulps

While checking the Internet for daily news, Jose (his friends called him JoJo, and in spite of his Spanish first name, did not pronounce it HoHo) learned that the mayor of New  York had banned Big Gulps or any drink over 16 ounces.  That ruled out New York for his vacation, but what the hay, he liked Las Vegas better anyway. . . . .  David, Sf.G.
