Another rainy Monday and another day of Punky pacing around anxious, panting and shaking. The medicine I got from the vet works, if I can get her to take it. She is not taking it this morning, so this column will be short.
What is the fastest land animal in North America?
Time sure flies once you're out of school. My graduating class of 1979 held a 45th class reunion in Eureka, over the weekend. Sadly I didn't make it. I am definitely planning on being there for the 50th.
I got to see a picture of the group and didn’t recognize half of them! Thankfully, a second picture had everyone’s name. I’m going to have to get out an old yearbook and look up the names. Haha, this getting older is not fun.
Hello to all in area nursing and assisted living facilities. Hello also to all in area hospitals and rehab centers. We offer our sympathy to families of Linda Boone, John Gulick and Lois Billbe who passed recently. We offer our sympathy to all others who lost loved ones this past week. May they all rest in peace.
Answer: The fastest land animal in North America is the pronghorn antelope, which can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. This remarkable speed makes the pronghorn not only the quickest animal in North America, but also the second-fastest land animal in the world, trailing only the cheetah.
Believe it or not, Toronto Days is only one month away. The new T-shirts can be pre-ordered at the Toronto Library or Toronto Lumber.
That’s it for this week. I have to tend to Punky now. Have a good week y’all.
