"do you ever golf anywhere around here besides the presidio?" you ask.
"why yes i do. in fact, tomorrow, i am headed to buffalo, new york, premier golf location of northern new york state. it's just a cross-country jaunt from san francisco," i say.
- pause -
taking your silence as a cue for explanation, i continue. "oh, you haven't heard of it? it is quite the hidden gem. trying to get in on the action before it goes extinct*."
* for the record, i don't find extinction funny. but, the irony? buffaloes once faced extinction in the late-1800s. now, thanks to the host of regulation over the past 100 years, they're back! and roaming freely on their home on the range. where the deer and the antelope play. where seldom is heard a discouraging word. and the skies are not cloudy all day.
