james_davis_nicollI finally went to my doctor and got a prescription for my puffer. I don't actually feel any better and I was barking like a seal at one point but I am assured that I am in fact doing better than on previous days. For one thing, I can now finish a full sentence without coughing.
But that's not what I wanted to post about.
It happened that a lot of high schools let out as the bus I was on was working its way across town. Two teenaged girls ended up in front of me and somehow they got on the subject of textbooks. One of them was complaining how ancient her history text book was (although she also admitted they hadn't got past WWII so that didn't matter). Her proof of unspeakable antiquity? The book is so old it thinks the US president is
Bill Clinton.
If she's 14, she was seven when GWB got in. When I turned seven, Lester Pearson was still Prime Minister of Canada and I will admit I don't remember him as PM at all.
