probably my favorite thing i learned during my tahoe vacation

It was a pretty long trip with many highlights, but one of which was definitely the news that one can make a grammatical sentence of infinite length using only the word "buffalo". Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. Ad infinitum! If you can't parse that yourself, ask me next time you see me. And only one of those buffalo's refers to the town in Western New York (yeah, that's right--it's not "upstate", it's in Western New York. I'm going to give the multitudinous geographical regions of New York the respect they deserve, now that I'm no longer a solipsistic New Yorker. Or maybe I just want it to be known that where I'm from is not called "upstate New York" by anyone but city folk. It's called the North Country, dammit. Maybe spending 5 days in the mountains has taken the city out of me a bit....)
