Which Reminds Me

Yes, I am once again reminded that our high school mascot was a Trojan, depicted in various ways mostly as sort of hippie-ish, as a little warrior in sandals, with a sword and spear, which faintly evokes the idea of an ancient city, recently unearthed on the coasts of Turkey, wherein various treasures were discovered, from whence ancient Trojans purportedly emigrated in ancient times of misty memory around the continent of Europe, arriving at England where they settled in ancient times. Maybe. Who can say what really happened back then? All of which has nothing whatever to do with the city of Troy in New York, although who knows what Trojans landed upstate there. The only persons form upstate New York that I ever met were somewhat weird and neurotic in my opinion. We may see the upstate New Yorkers ruminating loudly in their upstate bubble cages at the zoological park, but we do not necessarily have any desire to go there at the moment. Yes, I agree that we should have a healthy respect for the wildlife.
